Alcohol calories

hanadeka2002

Last night I was out and I drunk quite a bit(3 glasses of wine,glass of champagne and a Southern Comfort and Lemonade) and then I ate like 3 bags of crisps(I was really hungry :frown:

)and a load of chocolate....grrr......probably say about 15 Cadbury's fingers and 10 or so Minstrels.

I just wondered if the amount of calories I consumed means I have put on any weight...?Should I reduce what I eat for the next couple of days so as not to gain any weight or should I be fine?

I don't normally drink and I feel really disgusting today.

seriously, chill, you're too young to worry about one heavy night and how it might affect you. just enjoy yourself, it wont have made any difference unless you do it regularly. even if you're watching your weight it doesnt mean you cant enjoy yourself some of the time. I mean, we only live once :smile:

OK,thank you for your advice.I don't do it regularly,I very rarely drink these days-hence the huge fuss.I guess I'd only gain like,a pound anyway so that can easily be lost again/is barely noticeable.

If you do want to drink but are worried about calories, drink vodka based stuff with fruit juice or diet drinks, because vodka is one of the purist forms of alcohol so has the lowest amount of sugar.

Gin and slimline tonic is low in cals too...and much tastier than vodka + diet coke.

You have to eat 500 extra calories per day to put on a pound in a week. It's actually quite easily done, but you'd have to eat 3,500 extra calories in a single binge to put on weight. As a single occurrence, it won't hurt you. You'll only put on weight if you make a habit of it.
