Who will generally gain more weight, the wine-drinker or the beer-drinker?
I have heard alcoholic drinks described as empty calories. Of course we have all heard of the "beer belly." What about a wine belly? Can frequent consumption of wine cause you to gain as much weight as beer, or are they both myths?
if you drink wine, you can get buzzed and happy faster than if you drink the same amount of beer. plus wine supposedly has fewer calories than beer. so if you do the math, wine seems like the lesser caloric evil. carbs must fit into the equation somehow, too. i once had a friend on the atkins diet, and she was allowed to drink one glass of white (not red) wine, if that helps.
