Pio why not spirits (straight) such as whisky, rums, tequilas ect when your suggesting dry wine (which other than having somewhat of a health benefit is still a form of alcohol)??
Say > 4-5 of the standard drink equivalents of either straight spirit or dry wine. If both drinking the same amounts of EtOH in say an evening and the spirits have less calories than equivalent wine I don't see where to go wrong?
I'd imagine ideally when dieting having avoiding excess of alcohol would be an idea, especially if you're drinking heavily before multiple nights a week.
yeah, i've had people tell me that spirits are the way to go because there are even less carbs/sugar in them. but still, my feeling is, try not to binge drink or drink a ton and, and then drink what you want. alcohol is calories no matter what.
