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

847 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.

yah, they hurt your liver, leading to a large variety of detrimental health effects both before and after being broken down into usable calories. Alcohol is worse for you than ANY other legal otc drug; not counting the physical and emotional damage caused to others by drunk people doing dumb shit.

please stop drinking; it’s bad for you, and it’s bad for society.
