Yes, it is true that consuming alcohol on weekends has a detrimental impact on weight reduction efforts. When people drink alcohol, they often make poor food choices, such as eating unhealthy foods and drinking sugary beverages. Additionally, alcohol can reduce the amount of fat that the body burns for energy. As a result, consuming alcohol on weekends can sabotage weight loss goals.
