Worst Alcohol to Drink on A Diet
So Long Island Iced Tea wins the title of Worst Alcoholic Drink When Youโre on a Diet.
But I want you to keep something else in your mind: Suppose that drink is low in bunch of calories but that drink ain’t good for you good friend. All calories are not created equal, despite what you may have heard. This is why the type of alcohol you drink on a diet can have a big impact on your weight loss goals. Specifically, Iโm talking about alcoholic drinks that are high in sugar. Why does this matter? Because sugar is linked to higher rates of weight gain, obesity, heart disease, etc. Itโs bad stuff. And the average person eats 22 teaspoons of the stuff every day.

So my advice when it comes to alcohol is pretty simple, folks:
1. Enjoy alcohol in moderation.
2. Stay away from the sugary alcoholic beverages.
3. Stick with beer, wine, or straight liquors with no mixers.
