Apart from anything else the first drink tends to relax me enough to think "oh, well, one more won't harm me".<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" />Alcohol allegedly goes straight to your liver and is laid down as fat.Beer is the worst (sob) because of the extra carbohydrates.I must say I don't feel any better for it, and I haven't seen a remarkable change in my weight or general feeling of well-being. My BG seems marginally better but I have upped the exercise and cut out food treats as well.After another week or so I will start adding a bit back in ready for Christmas.</blockquote>
