FWiw About 2 weeks ago I had 1 beer 1 day and then a shot of bourbon for the next 2 days, I went from 211lbs to 215.6 over the next 3-4 days. I had read from atkins that alcohol would slow the weight loss process and it appears to be correct. Now I have dropped my weight to 210. Have 2 wonder where it would be if I hadn't drink the alcohol. live and learn
