All About Alcohol

About 3 days ago I decided to stop drinking. You heard that right – not slow down or drink less, just STOP. I mean,  I’m sure I will drink moderate amounts of alcohol at some point in my life going forward. However, for 30 days I will not be drinking alcohol at all. This might……

However, any kind of research involving weight loss……
