Intriguing article regarding a recent report in the Archives of Internal Medicine about moderate consumption of alcohol in women and weight gain. The study demonstrated a pattern of weight loss with alcohol consumption.
"Amount of alcohol consumed at baseline was inversely related to weight gain". Women who drank more--lost more weight!

Not only does this connect with physiologic support but multiple other studies. Individuals should always consider psychosocial effects of alcohol consumption, and the study identified subjects within a healthy beginning weight range, and without many of the common complicating factors (eg diabetes). I believe this information should serve as further encouragement that a great glass of wine, beer or a martini is To Your Health!
