Alcohol interferes with fat loss through four separate mechanisms, only one of which is the calories in the glass.
The direct calories
Seven calories per gram, sitting between carbohydrate and fat, and carried in drinks that rarely produce any fullness. Three pints is comfortably 600 calories that displace nothing from your appetite for dinner afterwards.
The oxidation priority
The body treats ethanol as a toxin and prioritises clearing it. While that is happening, fat oxidation is suppressed. Anything eaten alongside is therefore more likely to be stored than burned — which is unfortunate given what people typically eat while drinking.

Get SodaSlim — From $49The behavioural cost
Alcohol reduces inhibition and raises appetite, particularly for salty, energy-dense food. The 600 calories in the glass frequently escort another 800 into a late meal. It also reliably removes the following morning's training session from the calendar.
The sleep cost
Alcohol shortens sleep latency but suppresses REM and fragments the second half of the night. Poor sleep raises next-day ghrelin and reduces spontaneous movement. That compounding effect is why moderating alcohol often outperforms adding any supplement, including SodaSlim, for someone drinking regularly.
