The Best Low Calorie Alcoholic Drinks
It Really Does Make Your Hangover Worse
It's well known that alcohol dehydrates you - there's a reason you wake up the morning after a night out with a mouth as dry as the Sahara Desert. While you've probably experienced a hangover before, you probably also know that not all hangovers are created equal.
There's not a ton of evidence to go off of, but you've probably realized that you feel worse after drinking different alcohols. Sugar can actually play a role, making you more dehydrated and may leave you feeling worse the next day.
Sugary Drinks Make You Feel Bloated
Low calorie alcoholic drinks are typically low in sugar. If you're someone prone to stomach pain or digestive issues, registered dietician, Stephanie Clairmont, says sugary drinks can upset the stomach leaving us feeling bloated and uncomfortable.
Beat the bloat by opting for drinks low in sugar, and avoiding highly carbonated drinks!
