Do you think that drinking alcohol might be weight gain related? I like drinking those liquors of vanilla and chocolate but only occasionally and on normal small doses. Sometimes when I go party I drink bear or wine and lately I had so many parties where much alcohol was present. So I wonder if drinking alcohol might have caused me some weight gain

No I don't think so for if you ask me relation between drinking alcohol and weight gain is only a myth. You see my husband used to drink a lot, I mean he never was alcohol dependant nor he suffered abuse of alcohol disorder. But during all his alcohol period he was so skinny I was jealous of his perfect physical line. I am not saying you should keep on drinking alcohol actually it is contrary â€“ my advice for you is actually to stop drinking for with so many parties with alcohol around you risk to become an alcohol dependent which is much worse situation than gaining some weight. Instead try to reconsider the way you are eating or why are you doing that for there's also a possibility that you eat ot nervous-mental bases and you are not even aware of it and here you have this unwanted weight gain. I remember my husband when decided not to take no more alcohol for health reason- he then suddenly gain some weight so actually it was contrary while he was drinking he was skinny and when he stopped drinking he gained some weight .

I have to disagree - alcohol does cause weight gain in a lot - but not all - people. Most likely it does for women. Myself, 2 good friends of mine who are female, and others I know of all suffer from this. Men, on the other hand, don't seem to be affected at all other than a beer belly.
