A member asked:
How much can drinking affect weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol contains: 7 calories/gram -- compared to 4 each for carbohydrates and proteins and 9 for fat. That doesn't include the mixer, juice, etc with the alcohol or the food you eat while drinking. The more calories you take in, the harder it is to burn them off and lose weight. Drinking in moderation is not a problem, but in excess is a health risk.
