But the sobering fact is, alcohol has no real upside when it comes to training. So, go ahead and sputter something about the delicious Spanish, Italian, Californian or Brazilian wine. This is the truth! A lot of my patients who wish to stay in shape, lose weight and be healthy ask me these questions about alcohol drinking socially, and I always say that alcohol is NOT part of their diet. But, we must be realistic that it might be impossible not to drink some. So, the advice would be, a little drink may be ok, but STAY AWAY from the booze, such as, vodka, scotch, and plus, stay away from the girlie drinks, such as daiquiris, mixed drinks with lots of sugar etc.
Of course, drinking is an important part of our culture, and a couple of stiff ones can go a long way fighting off the feelings of deprivation that come with a training diet. Go ahead, a GREAT CHOICE would be a nice glass of red or white wine, or a light beer, and have a couple if it keeps you sane, but as I said just stay away from the girlie drinks!!

Drink Smart!!
Asking someone not to drink in a party is like asking a child not to eat candies in a candy store. What is the point being there, right!
