bottle of vodka = 2800 calories in the alcohol

alcohol is very calorie dense compared to most things you will eat or drink and those calories are in the alcohol itself so you can only avoid them by not drinking it.

I'd guess some of that weight loss is probably water from the lowered carb intake. Most people can lose a few pounds almost immediately by lowering or cutting carbs until the body goes after their glycogen reserves and associated water. Some of that weight will come back quickly with reintroduction of those carbs.

But that said, you were drinking way too much alcohol. Good work and stick with the new change.
