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.

There are several bad effects from alcohol which make it bad for weight loss. One of the ones I think is worst is that it “basically shuts down your metabolism” to quote the link below. You’re burning much less fat, which is quite bad. It also messes with you hormonally which also leads to more fat gain.
Alcohol also leads to less sleep quality (bad for many things, but also promotes weight gain) and also causes people to feel more hungry.
Alcohol is a very bad thing to fit into a diet for these reasons.
