Of course alcohol impacts on your fitness - in a negative way most of the time.

Red wine is ok, right?
poison blah




Well, the fact is, that alcohol has NO positive physical effects on the body - period. The only effects it has are degenerative - and the damage is only relative to your intake. Therefore, it has a negative impact on the human system - moderate consumption or not. Alcohol is a poison - pure and simple.

And you would be wrong. Saying it over and over as you are, don't change the data on the matter, which is, as already stated, quite extensive at this point. Low- moderate alcohol intakes = health benefits according to most studies. Excessive alcohol = what most people already know about in terms of negative impact on health. For example, from the Harvard Health news letter:
"Part of a national 1985 health interview survey showed that moderate drinkers were more likely than non-drinkers or heavy drinkers to be at a healthy weight, to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night, and to exercise regularly. (11) Researchers have statistically accounted for such confounders, and they do not come close to accounting for the relationship between alcohol and heart disease. This, plus the clearly beneficial effects of alcohol on cardiovascular risk factors, makes a compelling case that alcohol itself, when used in moderation, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease."

If you have problems with binge eating, I would say even moderate amounts can negatively impact on weight loss goals. I personally have low willpower when it comes to naughty foods, so I find I have to go cold turkery on alcohol or sugar to seriously lose weight. I simply don't keep it in my home. Other people can have occasional treats without falling off the wagon.
Then there's the obvious of beer being high in carbs, and many mixers being high in sugar. If you must drink, drink nude spirits. Wine shouldn't have added sugars, however it is naturally very high in calories.
Think of one standard alcoholic drink as a snack or small meal. If you wouldn't dare eat 5 snacks in as many hours, don't have 5 drinks in 5 hours.
