A member asked:
My son is very overweight and drinks alcohol he wants to go to a weight reducing spa will it help him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss: Many people do not realize how many calories are in alcoholic beverages. If your son goes to a spa, they will undoubtedly eliminate or greatly reduce the alcohol. At the spa, he may achieve some weight loss, and may learn something. But he can't spend his life at the spa. If he leaves the spa but returns to his old ways, it will not have been worth the money.
