The TRUTH about drinking ALCOHOL :/

Drinking alcohol can put the brakes on a weight loss program in more ways than one. In the first place, you've got to consider the excess calories you're taking in. There are seven calories per gram of alcohol. A single glass of white wine or an ounce and half of hard liquor provides about 90 calories; a regular beer gives you 150 (a light beer provides about 110). You can almost double the calories in hard liquor if you add a mixer such as fruit juice or tonic water.  When you're trying to lose weight, alcohol also works against you because the calories it supplies are "empty" - they provide you with no beneficial nutrients.


Another consideration: alcohol can also slow the process by which your body burns fat. The alcohol calories you consume aren't stored. Instead, they're converted to acetate, a type of fuel that the body burns quickly. As a result, you burn off your alcohol calories before you burn the fat you are trying to eliminate by increasing your exercise and cutting back on your food intake.

One snickers

+ half of another snickers bar

= one cherry vodka sour

I ONLY BURN ABOUT 200 something calories running/walking for 30 min. Can you imagine how long it would take to run off liquor!!

Lets see how many Snickers Bars we "DRINK" (1 snickers has 273 calories)

YOU JUST CONSUMED: 1704-2556 calories in a few hours!! MOST PEOPLE are not even supposed to consume that in a day!!! You just doubled your intake!!

Sitting at home and having a glass of wine
White table wine: 84 calories a glass
White port: 175 a glass... 
Lets just say you have 2 glasses... YOU JUST CONSUMED..  168-350 POINTLESS CALORIES...
Lets be honest 2 glasses of wine isnt going to get you tipsy or drunk so why even drink it???

  Red wine : 88 calories per glass
Red port wine: 185 calories per glass

As for that little shot there on the side...
Depending on what your shot is you are looking at AT LEAST 150 calories a shot!! We all know that we have 2 or three of those a night there goes AT LEAST 450 calories.

All this being said.. do I still drink.. Yes, and despite my fb uploads I really dont drink that often. When I do drink I only drink VODKA (NOT FLAVORED) with water and lime.  No flavored water, no cokes, no club soda. Just straight vodka, water, and lime. 
Doesnt mean add vodka to a sugary drink such as a shot, orange juice, cranberry, or sugary liquors.

Im not saying its okay to drink... it all still has calories and doesnt benefit you in anyway at all.
