Alcohol delays the fat loss, since it is metabolized first, but it does not sabotage the diet like too many carbs will.
Interestingly, alcohol will cause some dehydration, so that it might appear that you've had a Whoosh, but the pounds will return soon as you restore your body's fluids.
Many alcoholic drinks contain sugars, so if you drink on Atkins, stick with clear liquors (gin, vodka, tequila, rum), dry red wines, or the wretched Michelob Ultra, which has less than 3 carbs per bottle.
