Your body will stop hanging onto excess water and weight
One of the key factors of dramatic weight loss, is to cut out the alcohol completely. Once you do, your body mass starts to decrease dramatically. Depending on your initial weight and how much you used to drink, going cold turkey can easily help you drop 6-8lbs per month.
But don’t rely on just abstinence from the hooch to lose weight. You still need to eat right and exercise.
