Alcohol is carbohydrate that is converted into a fatty acid instead of being turned into glucose like other carbohydrates. The result from this process is most likely extra fat storage, which is not what you're looking for, if you're trying to get in shape. This will put your fat metabolism on hold and you will just have to work harder to burn the same amount of fat than if you didn't drink.

Scientific research suggests that alcohol drops testosterone levels in both sexes. Lower testosterone equates to less muscle and more fat. Too much alcohol can literally make a man less of a man, and can lower a women's sex drive as well..Oh my!
