I took a diet program two years ago, the instructor warned us not drinking any wine, including beer. According to my father’s case, I think my instructor is right about it. As I mentioned before, I (as a successful dieter) recommend you water to drink, not juice, coke or soda. Therefore, my dear friends who are reading my blog: If you are on a diet, if you still want to have a drink, then you have to choose wisely.
