Yes, you can drink alcohol and still lose weight. However, the key is to drink in moderation and to choose drinks with fewer calories. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans define moderate drinking as two drinks or less each day for men and one drink or less each day for women. The caloric content of drinks also differs wildly. For instance, a standard 5oz serving of red table wine contains around 125 calories. Meanwhile, a Piña colada can pack over 500 calories! Tracking your alcohol helps you get a better picture of your calorie intake. And you can generally lose weight by consuming fewer calories than your body burns.
Yes, cutting back on your alcohol intake can lead to weight loss. But the significance of this depends on a few things. How much alcohol you drink, to begin with, determines how many calories you can cut. You’ll also need to consider other lifestyle factors. Are you cutting back on alcohol but replacing those calories with a bunch of sugar-coated donuts? Adopting a healthy diet, getting exercise, and cutting back on alcohol will likely lead to better outcomes. Nonetheless, reducing your alcohol intake leads to fewer calories consumed—which is a step forward if you’re trying to lose weight.
Yes, it’s best to do so. Even moderate drinking can rack up 1000 extra calories in a week, depending on your drink choices. Sugary mixes are the biggest culprits. A margarita contains over 200 calories, while a chocolate martini packs over 300 calories! Ultimately, the calories you chug matter, too. Of course, there’s no fun in obsessing over calories. It’s perfectly okay to have an occasional cocktail without feeling guilty. Sunnyside can also help you track your intake in a supportive and judgment-free environment.
Tracking your drinks lets you know if you’re drinking too much. It also helps you stay informed of the calories you drink. Perhaps, you had two beers, three servings of wine, and three shots of tequila in a week. Logging this helps you track the estimated number of calories in these drinks and evaluate if you’ll need to cut back to achieve your weight loss goals. It’s not an easy habit to build, which is where Sunnyside comes into the picture. Sunnyside is a reliable companion and a fantastic accountability partner on the go. You’ll get daily texts, reminders, and prompts to help you create new habits that last.
Sunnyside makes drink tracking simple and convenient. You can get started with drink tracking with the app in just three minutes. You’ll receive reminders to track the drinks you have each day. Additionally, you can text emojis, numbers, or words (beer, wine, vodka, etc.) to track your drinks as you have them, which will be automatically logged through the app. Plus, Sunnyside helps you monitor the estimated number of calories you’ve cut out of your routine.

You’re joining a community of members who have been through exactly what you’re going through and have achieved amazing results. Here’s what some of them have said about using Sunnyside to evaluate and improve their drinking habits.
When I first started I was a bit leery about the whole thing. I am 70 years old and retired and didn’t think that I needed someone to tell me how much to drink. So I took the 15 day free trial and found out that it really helped me control my drinking. These guys are not trying to change you, just your drinking habits, which has help me a lot. Sometimes I would drink just to drink and that came to a stop. I still do what I want to do, I’m just doing it differently and it really working well for me. – Rene
Over the last two years I became a bit of a heavy drinker. After 84 days with Sunnyside, I’m now a moderate drinker, on my way to becoming a social drinking. The transition was easier than I thought. -Ted
I’ve been trying to cut back on my drinking for years and this is the only way I’ve actually done it. I’m so extremely happy with just the mindfulness that it has provided me. It’s not judgy. It doesn’t make you quit immediately. It is just a way to cut back and be mindful of your drinking and I really appreciate it. It’s honestly transformed my life. -Stefani
