Losing Weight

Health experts say that if you want to lose weight, alcohol should be eliminated from your diet. The sugar that comes from alcohol contributes to weight gain and other health related problems like diabetes. Not only can alcohol make it difficult to lose weight but it can also get it the way of good nutrition. Many people do not realize that alcohol can be classified as a drug. Under this category, it is the most widely used drug in the world. According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in the United States, 17.6 million people -- about one in every 12 adults -- abuse alcohol or are alcohol dependent. The majority of the population consumes alcohol moderately or occasionally, but that does not mean that it's not a problem. You do not need to be an alcoholic for alcohol to interfere with your health and life. The potential to become addicted to alcohol is a serious problem that can affect anyone. Alcohol is not an essential nutrient in your diet and limits need to be followed on how much and how often it is consumed. http://www.medicinenet.com/alcohol_and_nutrition/article.htm
