I will be drinking on vacation next month and again in August. But drinking just to drink is no longer a part of my routine. Otherwise I will gain weight.

And yes, I do believe that I was a problem drinker borderline alcoholic based on the above behavior. But people’s opinions differ on how to define an alcoholic.

I think you were consuming more alcohol than I ever do (I'm not a daily drinker even on vacation. I'm more once a week. Twice a week tops). My own weight loss has been steady although I have been on maintenance mode for the past several weeks as I've been upping my exercise. I have a little more to go but I actually want to take the remaining pounds off more slowly because I think the results will be better.

Simple tip from a diet veteran: If you want to take off the weight you might gain over your vacation, try intermittent fasting once you get home. IF works wonders in getting you back on track. Or at least it sure does the trick for me.

Are you OP? I thought you said you were knocking back two bottles over every weekend.

No. I'm not Op. Sorry for the confusion. I'm the pp who said that if I want to drink a bottle of wine, I'll do it because I'm an otherwise responsible person, with no bad habits and who does not routinely drink to excess.

Whenever there is a drinking post, a few people always come out in force to talk about how bad it is. I wonder if those people also exercise the recommended 150 minutes a week – the number one predictor of good health long-term. My guess is no. I do that and then some but I also like to drink. My call.

Two bottles of wine in two days is excess. Whether you exercise 150+ mins a week or not. You can’t credibly argue that it’s not.

I don’t disagree but that’s also not the point of my post.

It is the point. Stop drinking excessively, keep the rest of your diet in check, and you will lose the weight.

And I am satisfied with the amount of weight that I'm losing per week which was a lot at first but purposefully not much this week....don't want that emaciated. popped ballon effect.

DP. So I can drink as much whiskey as I like and be on keto? I only have a glass here and there, once every few months, but didn't know till this thread it is keto friendly.

You can't go crazy and start drinking like whiskey is going out of style but I'd say that you could enjoy some whiskey once a week keeping in mind that alcohol temporarily knocks you out of ketosis.

I do not think that drinking even one glass of alcohol a day is good for weight loss. Once a week should be more than fine, though. But YMMV.
