Can you drink alcohol and still lose weight?
The short answer is that it depends on how well your body metabolizes alcohol. Your body can use alcohol as fuel, but alcohol can't be stored as fat for future use. As a result, alcohol is metabolized first before the calories from carbs, proteins, and fat.
Metabolically, alcohol is like a super carb. Alcohol shuts down fat burning and encourages fat storage... more in some than others.
