Which light alcoholic drink is healthier?

Question

I like to drink light alcoholic drinks which are the healthiest and low in calories. Does anyone know the healthiest drinks I should buy? Which one is healthiest between Smirnoff LIGHT and Mike's hard LIGHT drinks? I know margaritas and strawberry decries are great but they have alot of sugar and calories so I try to avoid them. We are going on a cruise in a couple weeks and I want to learn more about healthier alcohols I could drink alot of. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

there is really no such idea of a healthy alcoholic drink.

The only thing i guess one could consider healthy in moderation (suggested via one glass a day) would be drinking red wine for its antioxidants (specifically flavonoids in it). But again for it to effectively work to your health benefits you would pretty much kill your liver (suggested at least 30 bottles of red wine for any real beneficial effect a day).  

Answer 2

sorry, there is no such thing as a healthier alcoholic beverage.

one is just as bad for you as the next.

Answer 3

The problem is, there is no such thing as a healthy drink at least not one that contains alcohol. Remember, alcohol contains calories and the more you mix to it, the more calories it contains. There is no such thing as "light" alcohol and anything claiming to be "light" usually refers to taste and a slightly lower alcohol content.

If you want to have the lowest amount of calories and still drink then you need to stick to wines, beers and use water or soda for a mixer with your liquor.

EDIT: Whoever told you that Bacardi and Diet coke has no calories is full of it. 1 shot of rum contains 64 calories. In fact most foods and drinks you consume (this includes alcohol) contains calories. And alcohol is not good for you in any amount so the less you take the better.

I would suggest the following for your cruise. Have a few drinks and hit the gym for an hour a day.

Answer 4

A Camel's p**s should be light and healthy.

Answer 5

Bacardi and Diet Coke has zero calories.
