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.

Yes, calories from alcohol are processed differently than calories from carbs/sugar. Alcohol is a toxin, and your body prioritizes metabolizing it over other nutrients. This means that when you drink alcohol, your body will use the alcohol for energy instead of the calories from food. This can lead to weight gain, even if you are eating a healthy diet.
So I guess what it’s saying is that the other calories you consume will go straight on as fat?
