can u gain weight from drinking or getting Drunk?

Answer 1

Yes. A shot has 100 calories, plus whatever you mix it with. Amateur bartenders tend to put more alcohol into drinks, so they have more calories. Then, drinks that taste like candy bars have a ton of calories. I think a Margarita has about 800 calories, which is close to a half day's worth. Sweet drinks like Kahlua and cream or rum and coke are also loaded with calories. Even a beer has more than 100, and you're probably drinking several. If you're getting drunk, yes, you'll gain weight. For some reason, it all seems to go to your waist, hence the expression, "Beer belly" but that's true of any alcohol. If you're dieting, a glass of red wine, just one is okay, but stop there. Oh, and when you get drunk, you tend to fill up on whatever's around, like chips and dip, and you forget about dieting, so that's bad too.

Answer 2

Alcohol, Calories & Weight

Drinking alcohol does not contribute to weight gain, according to scientific medical research.
The Data

Alcohol contains calories, but drinking alcohol doesn't lead to weight gain, according to extensive medical research, and many studies report a small reduction in weight for women who drink. 1

The reason that alcohol doesn't increase weight is unclear, but research suggests that alcohol energy is not efficiently used. 2 Alcohol also appears to increase metabolic rate significantly, thus causing more calories to be burned rather than stored in the body as fat. 3 Other research has found consumption of sugar to decrease as consumption of alcohol increases. 4

Whatever the reasons, the consumption of alcohol is not associated with weight gain and is often associated with weight loss in women. The medical evidence of this is based on a large number of studies of thousands of people around the world. 5 Some of these studies are very large; one involved nearly 80,000 and another included 140,000 subjects.

Alcohol beverages contain no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium. Of course, the nutritional value of different alcohol beverages varies.

If always yes definitely since alcoholic drinks is purely starch and carbohydrates. And oh, if you add sugar to them too you'll definitely gain weight.

Answer 6

It all contains calories which is what causes you to gain especially if you are taking in more calories than you are burning off and ESPECIALLY if those are empty calories like alcohol. The stuff with the most calorie content per serving would be the one that has the most "negative effects on your physique"

absolutely, but you can choose drinks that are lower in calories than others. For instance, Bacardi and Diet Coke, Michelob Ultra Light Beer,Vodka and Crystal Light. All of these are low carb and low calorie.
