Depending on your lifestyle, you may not be able to drink alcohol on keto. However, drinking in moderation is generally OK. If you have a hard time controlling your alcohol intake, you may want to consider alcohol free drinks or drinks made with low carb mixers. You can also make your own keto cocktails with a few easy ingredients.
In general, the alcohol you drink on keto has no impact on your weight or macros. You should focus on the total amount of calories you consume.
If you are new to the keto diet, you should start by cutting out beer and wine. These are both high in carbohydrates and can throw your ketosis off. The average beer has about 13 grams of carbs in a bottle. Fortunately, you can find low-carb beers and wines.
If you are a wine fan, you should stick with dry wines. Some flavored wines have a lot of sugar. For these types of drinks, you should stick to one small glass at a time.
You can also enjoy whiskey-based drinks. While some brands of whiskey may contain more carbs than others, you can still find a few that fit into your keto diet. You can mix your favorite whiskey drink with a low-carb mixer. You can also use a low-carb sweetener to make your own Old Fashioned.
You can drink vodka on keto, but you should pay close attention to the amount of calories and sugar in your drink. Some brands of flavored vodka are zero carbs.
