Hmmm. There are also plenty of studies about the benefits of an occasional drink.

During the Atkins OWL, as soon as it was legal to include it, I added a large glass of wine to meals, maybe something like three times a week. I also - much more rarely - had a (no-carb) cocktail. It worked for me. Just FYI.

But of course alcohol changes energy metabolisation and is also high in calories, so there is a definite limit to the suggested consumption.
