Disclaimer: Alcohol’s impact on your body starts from the moment you take your first sip. While an occasional glass of wine with dinner isn’t a cause for concern, the cumulative effects of drinking wine, beer, or spirits can take their toll. It has been proved that drinking alcohol slows down weight loss…so if that’s your main goal, we wouldn’t recommend its consumption.
