I personally do not like to drive even after having only one drink while out. Plus, not only does having drinks at home save money, it can save lives too. And, they make those low sugar and sugar free margarita mixers that I don't think are offered at restauraunts. Two glasses of wine at most restaurants is about $14 and for that you can buy a decent bottle of wine at the grocery or liquor store.

I like margaritas, but I probably haven't had one in several years, they are just so full of sugar, I would feel weird when I drink one from the sugar rush.Īlso, having drinks at home is much more affordable than having them at a restaurant or bar. As for the mixed drinks, I drink Bacardi light rum and Diet Coke, but I only drink those on the weekends. OK, I know that sounds like a lot of water, but alcohol dehydrates the body, so I feel that by staying hydrated it helps to counteract that, as well as flush out my system quicker. What I do is this, before and after I have a drink, I make sure to drink 32 oz of water. I also have a glass of wine almost every night with dinner and two mixed drinks on Friday and Saturday nights. I exercise faithfully 6 days a week, I do 3 days of strength training (just finished up STS for the 4th time!) and I do light cardio on the days I do weights, then longer cardio other 3 days. Like i said, one glass with dinner isn't a problem, but it is just filling you up with empty calories if you drink it the way you say you do.
You could create a substantial deficit just by cutting out that wine. To put it in perspective a bit, a pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 lbs so creating a daily deficit of 500 calories would help you lose about 1 lb per week. Yes, I know red wine is great, but during a weight loss program, it really needs to be more of a treat that a staple of the daily diet. This can DEFINITELY slow down weight loss and it is highly recomended that you stay away from alcohol during weight loss because it provides nothing but empty calories that have no nutritional value. I don't even know how many glasses that would constitute but even if it were just another 2, you have downed 500 calories (and that number just keeps going up with each glass) of wine over the day. Those calories will certainly add up over the course of the day. One glass (6 oz) of red wine has approx 125 calories.
