ELi5: Are calories from alcohol processed differently to calories from carbs/sugar?

863 views

I’m trying to lose weight and occasionally have 1-3 glasses of wine (fitting into my caloric intake of course). Just wanted to know if this would impact my weight any differently than if I ate the same calories of sugar. Don’t worry, I’m getting enough nutrition from the loads of veggies and meats and grains I eat the rest of the time.

Fat interferes with a cell’s fat oxidation process. How long it does this varies based on the amount of alcohol consumed and the person’s individual body. It has been a while since I learned that I would research alcohol and fat oxidation for more detailed and actionable information.
