Alcohol temporarily stops your body from burning fat because it's treated as a toxin and gets metabolized first. But if you're in a calorie deficit overall, you'll still lose fat once the alcohol clears. Occasional drinking won't derail fat loss as long as your total calories stay below maintenance.
Since no one ever explains things in their videos, let me explain why drinking alcohol stops fat burning. When alcohol is in your system, your body stops burning fat for a period of time. This is because alcohol is a toxin. What? So your body prioritizes getting rid of and burning that first before going back to burning body fat. But this doesn't mean that you won't lose body fat if you drink alcohol, and here's why. Because when the alcohol is out of your system, as long as you are still in a calorie deficit, your body will still burn stored body fat. Take a bit longer. So if you occasionally drink, you don't need to freak out. Just make sure you're still eating in a calorie deficit and you will still lose fat.
