Alcohol - 8 calories/gram, fat - 9 calories/gram. Might as well be socking back straight oil!

Good luck on your goals - you'll figure it out!

ya i never knew alcohol was that bad i always thought it was just the wine that was real bad.

All alcohol is bad, look at wlmcrae's post. Just as many calories per gram as fat. Beer especially. How many college kids and middle aged people do you see going out to bars to get hammered off wine? Zero. Just pitchers of beer 99% of the time.

Red wine specifically has some positive health benefits ... keg of miller/bud lite ? Not so much ...

Grain Alcohol - Alcohol made from grains - grains are carbs - alcohol / grains / yeast = sugar.

Just a though

Now Muscletech can come out with a red wine based fat loss product. (CaberTECH maybe? )

Red Wine Averts Weight Gain
Posted on: 02/02/2006

TARRAGONA, Spain--Modest intake of red wine may be inversely related to weight gain, according to a study published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (17, 2:139-42, 2006).

Researchers from Universitat Rovira i Virgili fed male Zucker lean rats a high-fat diet (HFD; n=5), a high-fat-diet red-wine diet (HFRWD; n=5), and a standard diet (SD; n=5), for eight weeks. At the end of the intervention, the HFRWD group had gained less weight, had adopted a lower daily energy intake and had less fat mass (as measured at epidymal fat pads) with respect to total body weight, than the HFD group. The researchers concluded these findings, though preliminary, show moderate red wine intake can prevent the increase of body weight by modulating energy intake in a rat diet-induced model of obesity.

Ouuu I love me full bodied Cab

I knew you were gonna do that...Good thing I'm not a rat eh?

"A rat diet-induced model of obesity." What an expression that is! I always love how scientists perform these "12 week" studies on rats and mice and then correlate the findings that the same will happen in humans. My opinion is that if you are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, a person should stay away from alcohol as much as possible. Even if wine is suppose to be "heart healthy," I still say a person will be healthier if they stay away from alcohol altogether. As for the pot-smoking, that's a no brainer. I do agree with some of the arguments supporting medical marijuana, but not for people who get a hangnail and then cry for a joint to "ease the pain."
