What alcohol has the least sugar?

If you're looking to go low sugar, then there are some basic approaches you can take. Your best bet is to stick with hard spirits like gin, vodka, whiskey and rum, but watch your mixer. Wine is a good option, but it's best to go for a red or a dry white. Beer might be good for low sugar, but it can be high in calories.

You might have decided to embark upon a low sugar diet. Or a low carb one. Or just a low calorie one. Or just looking after your health. Whatever your goal and whatever way you’re looking to achieve it, some things make sticking to it a little more complicated. Like the weekend. Or eating out. Or perhaps more regularly, alcohol. Alcoholic drinks are a minefield when it comes to their nutrition. There are so many different types and brands, each with its own nutritional label, which isn’t always easy to find. For people on a diet, this can pose a problem. Because there are only 55 calories in a vodka shot, but a Pina Colada cocktail can top the charts with up to 450 calories. That’s a pretty big difference. And whilst it’s more than okay to indulge a little, it might not be the best idea to make it your regular alcoholic drink of choice. Whether you’re on a diet, looking to cut down on carbs or sugar, or just in search of a low-calorie or sugar-free alcohol to become your new go-to at the pub, there is good news. You have options. You can still enjoy a tipple without going overboard on sugar. There are plenty of choices out there for those who drink alcohol. As with anything, moderation is key. But here’s a list of low sugar options if you’re in the mood for a Friday night drink. Or a Tuesday night. No judgement here.

How much sugar should I have per day?

The recommended daily sugar intake from the NHS is 50 grams for women and 70 grams for men. Spend your allowance wisely. Don’t forget that there’s more than one type of sugar. Whether it’s natural or refined plays a significant role in if it’s deemed healthy or not. Try not to demonise sugar as it’s found in many food sources that should make up a large part of our diet, including fruit and vegetables. Cutting out an entire macro-nutrient probably isn’t a good idea.

Sugar-free vs carb-free?

Lots of people talk about cutting out either sugar or carbs in the name of health. But there’s a couple of things to consider here. Firstly, carbohydrates contain sugar. When we eat them, they are converted into glucose (sugar), and we use that as energy for our muscles. So, if you’re going low on carbohydrates, then you’re going low on sugar too. Secondly, food can be categorised into three macro-nutrient groups: protein, carbs and fat. We need all of these to function correctly. Each provides us with the essential nutrients we need to function. And while reducing our carb intake might be a good idea for some people, it’s important not to overdo it or demonise carbs. We need them for energy. All fruits and vegetables are classified as carbs.

A pharmacist can help with dehydration

If you're being sick or have diarrhoea and are losing too much fluid, you need to put back the sugar, salts and minerals your body has lost. A pharmacist can recommend oral rehydration solutions. These are powders that you mix with water and then drink. Ask your pharmacist which rehydration solutions are right for you or your child.
