Is scotch better for you than red wine?

The main driver behind weight loss and weight gain is calories eaten vs calories used up.

If you eat more calories than you use, you will gain weight.

If you eat less than you use, you will lose weight.

I'm not saying it is easy, but it is that simple.

Alcoholic Beverages, incl. wine, have quite a lot of calories.

If you drink those it will be hard for you to stay within the allowed calorie budget required to lose weight.

But sure, as long as it fits in your calorie budget you can have pretty much whatever and still lose weight
