Alcohol And Weight Gain, Is Wine Fattening?

April 13,2020
Share:

Drinking too much wine can cause you to consume more calories than you burn, which can lead to weight gain.

Alcohol And Weight Gain, Is Wine Fattening?

What’s more, calories from alcohol are typically considered empty calories, since most alcoholic drinks do not provide substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients.

Still, you may have heard that red wine, in particular, may offer more benefits than other alcohols. Red wine contains resveratrol, an antioxidant compound that may fight disease and has been linked to heart benefits when consumed in moderation.

However, drinking too much wine appears to outweigh any possible benefits and contributes excess calories in the process.

Additionally, heavy drinking can lead to weight gain in ways other than just contributing empty calories. When you consume alcohol, your body uses it before carbs or fat for energy. As a result, these nutrients may be stored as fat.

High alcohol consumption is also associated with poor diet quality.

However, it’s unclear whether this is a result of unhealthy food choices made while intoxicated, or if those who drink more often have less healthy diets in general.

Drinking too much wine can lead to the overconsumption of calories and possible weight gain. In addition, excess alcohol intake may hinder how your body burns energy and fat.
