To be able to lose or not be able to lose (while drinking alcohol), for that is the question.

Most people know that drinking a lot is not a recipe for weight loss and that alcohol can not only put on weight but stop you burning fat.

In this episode, I explain in basic terms whether or not it is true that alcohol in your system is a fat loss inhibitor and what you need to know about alcohol consumption and being able to lose weight successfully.
