Excessive alcohol

Recent studies have found that drinking alcohol in moderation has its place in a healthy diet. The key word is "moderation." For women, that means one drink a day, and for men, two. Any drinks beyond that are just adding extra, empty calories onto your day. In addition, studies show that calories from alcohol are stored in the abdomen, packing on dangerous belly fat to those strong, beautiful abs.
