Okay, this is simple yet something that I can't seem to figure out. For the SAME amount of calories, would it be better for my diet to have white/red wine mixed with some juice/water, or eat a slice of cake/any other pastries? Would it make a difference? If so, why?
Thanks for all who will answer! Any useful insights or follow up questions will be much appreciated
I doubt it would make a big difference as they are both basically sugar. The wine/juice might have more nutrients, but I'd say go for whichever you want as long as the calories are the same and you are getting the nutrients you need from your other foods.

But what about how the kind of food is used? 'Cause i've also heard about how alcohol is metabolized differently.. Is it true/applicable?
A 5 oz glass of wine is 125 calories. That's not going to have an effect on your weight loss. Now, if you had 5 glasses, and then started eating everything in sight, and did this 3 nights a week you'd have a problem.
Really, put this energy into figuring what you'll wear and just have a good time.

Alcohol is metabolized via a slightly different metabolic pathway...but that doesn't really make much difference in the good ole cals in/ cals out equation. As long as you are consuming within a calorie range conducive to weight loss...enjoy your drink!

Ohh. I'd remind myself that the difference isn't that significant as i seem to think. Thank you!
