Alcohol

Researchers set out to unravel the mystery of this flavor rush certain wines, like Sauvignon Blanc, give off several seconds after the initial sip.

Doctor Yvonne Kelly, from University College London, carried out the study (which involved 12,495 children and is available online from the International Journal of Epidemiology).

And now, a new study claims excessive drinking accelerates the shrink-down.

Experts urge that even moderate drinking offers NO protective effects.

Even if your social life doesn't revolve around bars and clubs, don't assume it'll be easy for you to drink less: that post-work glass of wine, or the beers on a lazy Sunday afternoon, can be just as hard to give up. But if your weight loss has slowed recently, cutting down on the booze could be just what you need...

Drunkorexia is a new slang term that describes the practice of restricting food intake in order to drink more alcohol.

You won't find this one in the DSM-IV manual for diagnosing health disorders. The Morning Show ran a piece on it that looked exclusively at how this practice affects women.

Statistics suggest that 30% of 18-24 year olds skip food in order to drink more.

Alcohol consumption and fat loss has long been a controversial subject.

First, the BBC dismissed the "beer belly". Now, new research contradicts this: liquor consumption in men is associated with a larger waist circumference.

The majority of Americans drink alcoholic beverages - but many may give up this habit when on a diet, due to the excess calories. One enterprising individual appears to have seen the gap in the market and created the Beer Drinker's Diet.

Diets seem to come in themes or groups. It would appear that wine has made something of a comeback to the world of weight loss. Cardiologist (and wine collector) Dr. Tedd Goldfinger is releasing The Wine Lover’s Healthy Weight Loss Plan - a book based on the health benefits of wine.

New research findings show that alcoholic drinks combined with artificial sweeteners make you drunk quicker. It isn't advice - it's a warning.

The California Wine Country Diet, by Haven Logan, is the real deal.

It's a book about weight loss and weight management that actually covers all the bases. It makes no false promises, no eye-catching claims. Indeed - the book's cover is more like a coffee-table wine book than a glitzy diet book. I suspect there has been a deliberate choice not to embellish the book with hype.
