The tip here isn’t to stop drinking alcohol altogether (despite the title of
this section). If you enjoy alcohol then there’s no particular reason why
you have to quit cold turkey, but you will save a bit of money and not
consume as many calories.
Simply, the call here is that you become aware that it influences your
metabolism. If you consume excess alcohol (even without becoming
inebriated), you force your system to deal with more calories.
And unless you’re compensating for these added calories through exercise
or muscle building, catabolism cannot occur. Instead, anabolism will
inevitably occur, and new cells will be created from those calories (mostly
fat cells).

This is a toughy. Most of us don’t have as much control over the amount
that we sleep as we should. Work, family, education, housekeeping, and
so many other tasks can literally prevent us from getting the amount of
sleep that we need.
However, as the experts tell us, getting enough sleep actually improves
metabolism. On the other hand, people who are constantly sleep deprived
typically find that they have less energy to do regular, daily activities;
including digestion.
