These findings are surprising because alcohol itself contains 7 Calorie s per gram, and some alcoholic drinks also contain Carbohydrate s. The reason that alcohol may not increase weight is unclear, but research suggests that alcohol energy is not efficiently used. Alcohol also appears to increase Metabolic Rate significantly, thus causing more calories to be burned rather than stored in the body as Fat (Klesges ''et al''., 1994). Other research has found consumption of Sugar to decrease as consumption of alcohol increases. The research results do not necessarily mean that people who wish to lose weight should continue to consume alcohol. The relationship between alcohol and weight remains unresolved and will remain so until more research is conducted that can clarify any apparent discrepancies in findings. SOURCES
