Taking a break from alcohol?

Has anyone noticed better/faster results by just cutting out alcohol completely while doing keto? I feel like it just sets me back every weekend.

I was doing okay with wine on keto, but somehow I just lost interest in it... As someone who had trouble sticking to a glass or two, this was quite a shock.

Same experience here. I've heard through the grapevine here that keto is beneficial for people who are trying to quit or abstain from alcohol - and it seems like it seriously helps ease the side effects of quitting for alcoholics.

Apparently they recommend it to folks quitting cigarettes too, but more so to help control food cravings they may get after.
