I'd think if something were amiss diet wise though I wouldn't still be increasing strength wise at the gym. I had a fantastic workout today and added reps over last week's.
I do agree the alcohol isn't the best thing to do and I should eliminate that altogether. I probably would have leaned out a lot faster if I had.

When your body is used to lifting your workouts may not be affected as quickly as other bodily functions.
You don't have to listen to me ,listen to your body, almost every week you have a post or two that pretty much verify carb intake is to low. Just because your still gainning doesn't mean your reaching potential, a perfect example is you build your motor and it runs strong, then you add a bigger cam and it runs stronger, now you do a gear change and it runs faster but the whole time your running low octane fuel, so you've made good gains but with proper fuel the gains are much more. Your body is no different.
One thing to remember when trying to drop body fat, if you look at almost any diet or even gimmick diet supliments they always suggest proper nutrition and exercise. Your body burns many more cals to substain muscle than fat or other tissue so in turn building muscle incinerates fat and you cannot buld muscle without protein and carbs, they go hand in hand. So you may be getting stronger and leaner but you're working your ass off to do it, you cannot acheive what you are trying to do without extremely hard work which there is no doubt you are doing, but equip yourself with the proper tools (ie diet) and the results will pay off .
