Does alcohol consumption increase body weight?

Q: I am a 38 years old male, weigh 75 kg and am 180 cm tall. I have 60 ml of vodka daily and workout in the gym for half an hour everyday. Will consuming alcohol increase my body weight?

A:Yes, alcohol can make you gain weight especially around the abdominal area. If you must, have it once a week with either water, soda or tonic water not with orange juice.
