I work as a bartender 5 days a week, and in addition to the drinks I get gratis from the bar I also get drinks/shots bought for me from time to time from customers - a little tough to manage while on the anabolic diet, needless to say. So here's what I've learned:
- alcoholic drinks are fat free. even beer. its all carbs/sugar
- generally, the only drinks that are carb FREE are straight liquor, so scotch rocks is my drink of choice mon-fri
- some beers are low carb (I work in Australia, we have a beer called Pure Blonde...not great, but 3.5g of carbs)
- the sweeter tasting a drink is, the more sugar/carbs it has. Use common sense. Port will have more carbs than red wine, coolers will have more carbs than beer, etc.
Beyond that, use your own discretion. Google the # of calories in various drinks if youre that worried, but generally the best drinks health-wise are straight liquor plus ice/soda/water.
