Many of us like to have a drink socially - a beer over the BBQ,
wine with a meal, after-work drinks with friends. Some of these are
lifestyle practices or habits we may have developed over many years. By
the time we get into our 50s, they can be well entrenched and harder to
give up.

It seems very uncivilized if we cannot enjoy our favorite
drink when we are trying to lose weight. In fact, there is no reason
why we cannot still have a drink but we just cannot do it as often as we
might like. The main villain in the drink is the alcohol, which
contains calories. This means we have to treat alcohol in the same way
as we treat the rest of our diet. We simply have to limit our calorie
intake if we want to lose stomach fat.
