  1. This was very informative. I usually get vodka tonic thinking it was low in carbs. I had no idea that tonic has so many carbs. I'll be ordering vodka and soda water from now on! thank.

  2. IMPORTANT TO NOTE
    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 low carb diet you might need significantly less alcohol to get intoxicated. Women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.
    Also be aware that if you are on medication it is always best to check there are no contraindications with alcohol.

  27. Don't drink these days but when I did I didn't like wine. My drink of choice was Sake. I guess that's a rice wine! But regular wine no and not Prosecco either, so many like it! Give me Shloer instead!
