Holiday drinks donât have to turn into a sugar-and-toxin spiral.
If youâre choosing to drink, this is your quick âharm reductionâ approach (not encouragement, just smarter choices):
What to aim for:
⢠Lower sugar + lower carbs
⢠Skip syrups, sweet mixers, creamy liqueurs, pre-mixed cocktails
⢠Choose simpler options: dry wine, clear spirits with soda + lime, whiskey/neat, hard seltzers (check label)
Why it matters:
Alcohol stresses the liver + gallbladder, can irritate the gut microbiome, and often spikes blood sugar, especially when itâs paired with sugary mixes.
Post-drink care (your body will thank you):
⢠Water + electrolytes
⢠Light protein-rich meal (keep it simple)
⢠Prioritise sleep (cool, dark room)
I also included:
â a label checklist (what to minimise)
â âhealthier vs unhealthierâ drink examples
â Australian brand ideas + what to watch for
