can I drink alcohol on N days?

I was wondering if I is OK to have a glass of wine while I cook dinner on N days - I am just starting the diet and have about 30 pounds I am desperate to get rid of. I just don't want to sabotage myself since I am starting out. But the wine may help keep me from nibbling....

Thank you. I love how supporting and encouraging this site is!!

Yes, it's fine.

Yes, alcoholic drinks (unless they're also loaded with sugar) don't count as esses for no-s purposes.

But since alcohol is also a potentially (and personally, for me) tricky issue apart from mere caloric considerations, I maintain a 2 drink a day "glass ceiling."
