What are the best and the worst alcoholic drinks on a keto diet?

First, the obvious: alcohol doesn’t help with weight loss.

The more alcohol you drink, the harder it is to lose weight, since the body tends to burn alcohol before anything else. Drinking alcohol can also make you want to eat more.

There’s a huge difference between different kinds of drinks when it comes to how many carbs they contain.

The short version: wine is much lower in carbs than beer, so most people on keto choose wine.

Can you drink alcohol on keto and still lose weight

Pure spirits like whiskey and vodka contain zero carbs. But watch out for sweet mixed drinks – they often have a significant amount of sugar.

Disclaimer: Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems if consumed in excess.

Note that on a keto diet you might need significantly less alcohol to get intoxicated. Women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.
