How about happy hour?

Enjoying moderate amounts of alcohol while socializing does have some positive aspects. And ingesting small amounts of alcohol is said to have some health benefits, such as lowering risk of cardiovascular disease. However, alcohol is toxic to the liver, it’s a known carcinogen, and, because it’s a drug, alcohol has addictive qualities. So make wise choices, and don’t overconsume. The best scenario is no alcohol, but when you make the choice to drink, proceed with caution.

If you decide to have a glass of wine or spirits (for special occasions), try to make the best choices. Here are some suggestions:

Organic red wine

Organic sparkling wine

Organic white wine

Potato vodka

Rum

Tequila

The drier the wine, the less sugar content it has. Try pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot for the red wines, and sauvignon blanc and albariño for the whites.

Mix spirits with soda water, ice, and a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice. Avoid sodas, juices, or tonic water, all which are very high in sugar. Also, when you indulge, get plenty of fat and protein in your belly!

When choosing to celebrate, steer clear of grain-based drinks that can also include gluten. These spirits are off limits 100 percent of the time:

Beer

Bourbon

Gin (some brands are processed with grain-based alcohol)

Grain-based vodka

Whiskey
