Do you drink alcohol while cutting? If so, what?

Everything I've read, along with my own experience, says NO alcohol, especially beer, while trying to cut or lose fat. Beer is a double-whammy since it has tons of carbs, and the alcohol causes the carbs and sugars to metabolize into stored fat. My motto as a former beer lover is "a beer a year is nothing to fear, but a beer a day will keep your goals at bay".
As 75th says, wine is LESS bad for fat storage, and it might be a good thing if you're at risk for heart problems.

If drinking stay away from beer. Lots of simple carbs that the body will not be able to burn and will store as fat. I would drink hard alcohol either on the rocks or with diet coke so that there is no extra calories to burn other than alcohol. Also, try to limit eating carbs and fats before drinking because if you can't burn it up before drinking your body will store it, since it burns alcohol for energy over carbs and fats. Best thing to do if trying to lose weight is to have chicken breast or casein protein shortly before going out and cut out carbs and fats.

I don't drink alcohol while i am cutting, i hear its not good for you.
Yeah stay away from the stuff.. Wait until you're totally shredded, then take a little time off to enjoy a drink or two..
i wouldn't recommend any alcohol, it kills testosterone production, is high in calories, and slow the metabolism.. If you absolutely MUST drink, the cleanest (lowest calorie) thing you can drink is vodka, flavour it up with some diet whatever..
But honestly.. It will kill your motivation big time.. Strict cutting requires a lot of focus, and it's really only worth it when yyou can see the goal points nearing.. If you drink, you're going to keep moving the goal posts (no matter what you drink) and it will mess up your positive thoughts in a big way.. Going to the gym, you won't see those goals getting any closer, and it will quickly become a grind, that will probably see you either giving up or getting frustrated..
