Staying Sharp Through the Holidays:
Navigating Alcohol Season Without the Hangover
It’s the evening of December 4th, and I’ve already been to three holiday lunch events—each featuring alcohol as a centerpiece. 🥂 If you’re a drinker, awesome! Enjoy responsibly. 🎉 But for me? Drinking’s just not my jam anymore. Sure, I’ll have the occasional glass of wine or whiskey, but it’s become more of a rare exception than a rule. And during the holidays, I intentionally steer clear. 🚫
Why? Well, I’ve been busting my butt to shed some pounds, and nothing says "undo progress" like sipping the calories right back onto your belly. 🏋️‍♂️ On top of that, the streets are hectic with traffic, 🚗💨 and this time of year is one of the busiest for home sales. 🏡 I need to be sharp, focused, and on my game. 🧠💼 A couple of drinks might sound like a good idea in the moment, but it’s not worth compromising my edge.
That said, if you do love a good drink during the holidays, no judgment here. 🍸 But if you’re trying to enjoy without overdoing it, here’s your guide to the “healthiest” alcohol options to keep things balanced. ✅✨
Your Healthiest Holiday Alcohol Picks
Best Choices
Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Whiskey – Unsweetened and straight-to-the-point, these spirits are the cleanest options. Just keep the mixers simple.
Dry Champagne – Celebrate without the sugar overload.
Dry White Wine – Crisp and lower in calories than the sweet stuff.
Dry Cider – A decent pick if you’re craving something festive.
Moderate Choices
Liqueurs – Fun but often higher in sugar.
Colored, Sweetened Spirits – Tasty, but keep it limited.
Red Wine – Antioxidants are a plus, but the sugar and calories add up.
Most Damaging
Beer and Lager – Tasty, but a one-way ticket to bloating and empty calories.
Whatever you choose, remember that moderation is key. The goal is to enjoy the season, not feel sluggish and regretful afterward. Here's to staying sharp, fit, and fully present this holiday season—cheers to making choices that align with where you want to go! 🥂
ONE MORE INSIGHT BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT
