1(800) 615-1067The number of carbohydrates in an alcoholic beverage can vary depending on the type of alcohol, the serving size, and any mixers or additional ingredients. However, in general, alcoholic beverages that are lower in alcohol content and contain fewer added sugars tend to have fewer carbs than those with a higher alcohol content and more added sugars. Here are some examples of alcoholic beverages that are relatively low in carbs:
Light beer: Typically contains around 5 grams of carbs per 12-ounce serving.
Wine: A 5-ounce glass of red or white wine typically contains around 4-5 grams of carbs.
Champagne: A 4-ounce glass of champagne typically contains around 2 grams of carbs.
Vodka soda: A single shot of vodka mixed with soda water typically contains zero carbs, as long as the soda water is unsweetened.
Gin and tonic: A single shot of gin mixed with diet tonic water typically contains around 0-2 grams of carbs.
It is important to note that while these drinks may be relatively low in carbs compared to other types of alcohol, consuming alcohol in excess can still have significant negative health consequences. Additionally, it is recommended that adults consume alcohol in moderation, which generally means up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men.
