Like Don, booze bloats me. Recently after only about a week of sobriety, a relative that I had not seen for a year said how much weight I lost. In actuality my weight was at an all time high (almost). I shed the bloat. Like Don said, inches not pounds.
After drinking, as I come down from the booze I tend to be famished and have few inhibitions so I tend to gorge late at night then crash on a full stomach. Not a good way to stay fit.
I used to drink vodka and diet tonic. I figure I would ingest about 1000 calories a night with zero carbs!
Finally, when drinking my body is too fried to work out. When the weight goes up harder still.
So:
water bloat + 1000 empty calories + late night food binge + no workouts = you know what
