Having alcoholic drinks makes ur body burn less fat when you are active & whatever fat is burned slower than usual. Alcohol is used as fuel in our body & it reduces the fat burning capability by up to 73%. So it is better to avoid drinking alcoholic beverages as much as possible.
2. If you donβt fuel your body properly, your metabolism will slow down and your body will cling to the remaining fuel. So the best solution is to eat properly and more often to keep your body fueled up so that you donβt get exhausted when you are active.

As a result, a person on Flagyl cannot fully digest alcohol.
Hence, drinking can cause ACETALDEHYDE (toxic) to build up in the bloodstream.
