Weight Loss

OK....here is my question for you. I had 3 shots of vodka last night and then got on the scale this morning expecting it to be up. But it wasn't! I didn't go above my cals for the day, but I heard alcohol can dehydrate you obviously making your weight go down.

The reason I want to know if because the scale finally read 199.6, the first time it has been under 200 in over 2 years, and I desperately don't want it to go back up!

P.S. I drank at least a 1/2 gallon of water yesterday in the AM.

It may well be dehydration because alcohol can make you lose quite a bit of water so I wouldn't bet against it, but I'd also say that even if it is, you are probably quite close to dropping down to 199 anyway.
