For any weight management plan, it's crucial to discuss this clearly with your physician or a registered dietitian at a reputable hospital.
Beta, when you get older, you realize these 'fun' things often come with a cost. Alcohol is full of calories, and it makes you hungry for unhealthy things. For weight loss, it's always best to keep it minimal or avoid it. Focus on healthy food and a good walk, that's what always worked.

Girl, don't stress too much, but yeah, alcohol is kinda sneaky for weight loss. It adds a lot of calories without filling you up, and often makes you crave junk food afterwards. Maybe stick to a glass once in a while, or better, mocktails!
From a physiological perspective, alcohol contributes 'empty' calories, meaning calories without nutritional value. Your body prioritizes metabolizing alcohol first, which temporarily stops fat burning. It can also stimulate appetite. So yes, it does hinder weight loss efforts.
Weight loss is a long-term goal, and alcohol can really derail it. Think of the extra calories, and then the money you spend on drinks could be better used for healthy groceries or maybe even a gym membership. It's all about practical planning.
