Drink in moderation and when you do drink make sure it is of the low carb variety. I can't lose when I drink so I try not too...but I hear you can drink vodka and there are several low carb beers...just remember moderation and if it stalls you I would quit at least till you reach your goal....when I did drink I would munch...lol...not good....

Michelob Ultra is their low-carb beer, and it's OK. Less than 3 carbs a bottle. Also, Lite Beer (from Miller) has a little more than 4, I think.

Of course, Dr. Atkins recommends all things, including alcohol, in moderation. He specifically lists several non-carb hard liquors, but I don't drink spirits very often. I remember one of them was Tequila, which stuck in my mind because the very smell of straight tequila gets the gag reflex going. You see, I had a violently unpleasant episode involving tequila when I was in college... but that's a story for a different day and a different thread.
