Does drinking liquor cause weight gain?

I totally get it, social drinking is such a big part of life now and it's hard to avoid. Liquor has a lot of hidden calories, especially when mixed with soft drinks or juices. Try mixing with plain water or soda next time, it might help a bit.

I know how frustrating it is when you are trying so hard to diet but weekend outings with friends keep setting you back. It felt so isolating to watch my weight scale go up after every single party. It's a real struggle, but limiting drinks to once a month really helped my mental peace and my waistline.

Liquor temporarily stops your fat burning process because your body is busy processing the alcohol. If you do drink, try to go for a 45-minute brisk walk the next day to get your metabolism back on track, provided your health allows it.

Apart from weight gain, regular alcohol consumption can affect your liver enzymes and metabolism. It is always wise to get your lipid profile and liver function tests (LFT) checked once a year to ensure everything is functioning safely.
