Alcohol destroys any diet. I’m amazed how much more energy I have and how much weight I’ve lost being sober.



In my experience, beer is the biggest one. I got gout young (which my weight didn't help, but mostly truly cursed genes), and beer was/is a huge trigger. Turns out excruciating pain is a hell of a motivator, so all my beer consumption was swapped out for equivalent alcohol amounts of liquor pretty much overnight. I lost a significant amount of weight over the next year.
