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, use different metabolic pathways, trigger different hormone responses, etc, all of which affect weight gain differently.
