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.

Fructose is processed by the liver just as alcohol is. In fact, you get the same chronic (long term) conditions with too much fructose as you do with alcoholism, you just don’t get the acute (short term) side effects of being drunk and having hangovers.
Edit:
Wrote the wrong sugar name, the talk I based this on states fructose not sucrose. https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM
Edit2:
Take my comment with a grain of salt. u/Deus-Ex-Lacrymae has a good breakdown of the parts of the talk I’m referring to and critique on my misunderstanding/overstatement.
