does  hard alcohol make you skinnier? (or shrink your stomach)?

It can dehydrate you causing you to be somewhat thinner the next day however spending alot of time dehydrated can cause serious health problems. Also any liquid diet will shrink your stomach alittle (meaning that you will feel full faster when you eat solid foods) however I would not suggest an alchohol diet. Could cause alchohol poisoning and job loss.

Contrary to what is believed, alcohol may make you feel warmer but it actually lowers the temperature of the body. When alcohol enters the blood, it causes the blood vessels to widen.  More blood flows to the skin's surface.  The drinker's body temperature drops as the increased blood flow to the surface allows body heat to escape.  People who drink alcohol in cold weather to get warm actually accomplish the opposite.\n\nThough carbohydrates are known to be the best source of heat and energy, all what you eat are actually contributing in producing your body heat. So eat a well balanced diet and wear sufficient clothing to combat coldness while you go out. Instead of bringing a flask of scotch on route why not bring a flask of hot drinks instead?☺

General rules apply.....\nclearly not more than the recommended 21 units for men and 18 units for women in a week....\n\nImportant that type 2 diabetics realise that too much alcohol contributes to increasing weight due to the empty calories without nutrition\n\nand that alcohol can worsen fatty liver.....\n\nand increase your triglyceride levels which are already high thanks to type 2 diabetes\n\nand that while more than a pint or two of beer can put up your glucose,......\n\nwhile 5 pints or more of beer along with exercise like dancing can make your sugar go low especially if you have not eaten decently.......\n\nBUT on the whole, type 2 diabetics have more leeway with regard to type 1 diabetics, in that the swings in glucose acutely are not THAT acute.....with lower concerns of ketoacidosis..\n\ni wouldnt totally take to heart skewed studies which can look at only one aspect of diabetes and say alcohol is good for diabetics..but everything in MODERATION...SEE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16458538&query_hl=23&itool=pubmed_docsum

Depends, hard liquor is high in sugar and it also depends on what you mix it with. If you mix it with water then it has less calories than beer. If you mix it with pop or juice then you will probably consume more calories.

There isn't a beer that won't affect your fighting abilities, no matter what anyone says. Drinking causes you to gain weight, no matter the alchohol, and it slows your reaction time down. It also makes you slow overall. So, don't drink. I'm trying to get my boyfriend to quit...

The real reason too much alcohol makes people sick (and you don't to be drunk to get sick) is that alcohol is an irritant to the stomach lining.  Take in enough and the stomach will rid itself of the irritant.

actually, sometimes, if you dont eat, your stomach swells. it might shrink, though, with luck. dont try it-you go weak, and if your stomach is small, the rest of you will be horrifying.

Not necessarily. Drinking until you are unconscious can lead to death. When the stomach is pumped, not all the alcohol is removed from the bloodstream, so it can still be in quite lethal levels even if the stomach is emptied.\n\nOther factors such as height, weight, sex, age and many other things also factor in.

depends on your body weight, but a good rule of thumb is  8 oz. of alcohol gets metabolized every hour for an average person.  \n\n(please double these figures if you are a midget)

All very well, but your body does not start removing the alcohol for about 20 mins after you stop drinking and then yes you are quite right about 1 unit per hour. But when you go to sleep your metabolism slows down considerably when you sleep so some of the calculations will be incorrect. That's why a lot of people get nicked by me the morning after. My advice abstain this once, saves the hassle.

No.  \n\nDrinking a reasonable amount of water to excess amounts of water will no impact on muscle growth.\n\nSevere dehydration is a different story...and could have a negative impact.\n\nBut to answer your question, NO...drinking water does not make your muscles bigger.

Since I don't know what you're drinking, and don't want to assume, I'd have to say several items pop in mind.  One is the sheer volume and weight of various liquids and the impact they're going to have on your stomach walls.  The sheer volume of liquid will expand your stomach in size.  Then I'd consider things like the various sugars/carbohydrates that are in whatever you're drinking.  I can't think of anything you can drink that doesn't have carbs in them, (except water and lemon juice, but them lemons have carbs too . . .) some more than others, so your ingesting a load of calories, and that's gonna make you fatter all over, unless you use them in serious exercise.  And then whatever carbonation your various drinks have in them is going to effect your stomach size on a very temporary basis, but will effect it some. But water is vital this time of year, so don't plan on a diet from water just for your looks.  So, I guess I'd have to say, think before you drink.  Hey, that rhymes or something.  Maybe I'll become famous.  God Bless you and good luck.

drinking protein drinks does not do anything to your body!! You have to follow a regimen of exercise specifically help you develop the abs.....

Yes, you will be temporarily heavier by drinking lots of water.  You'll end up sweating and peeing it out, though, so you won't gain weight in the long term.  Drinking too much anything is dangerous and can have devastating consequences, so I don't suggest trying to put on the pounds by doing a lot of anything.  Some athletes have died from drinking too much water and thereby diluting their blood.

No, but you can get Antabuse prescribed to you and it will make you swell up like a balloon if you drink while taking it.  It can also make you naseous, however it never did to me, i just turned red and swelled up all over
