Seeing the amount of sugar and sweeteners in the "mocktails" and alcohol free beers/wines, I'd say it most certainly does involve poisoning your body.

- deadbabe 1y agoThere are sugar free mocktails.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoLike a glass of just water?
- Ekaros 1y agoAlcoholic wines also have massive range. Very dry ones do not have much, but once you get to medium and beyond they are in soft drink territory or even more... I think normal cocktails can end up in similar place, especially if say juices are component.
- slau 1y agoIf you dig a tiny bit into mixology, you'll notice the ludicrous amounts of sugar that goes into cocktails. An espresso martini has 80% of your daily sugar intake. That's 25g of sugar. Moscow mule 75%, Sangria 70%. All of those in one single serving. I'd wager most people don't stop at one drink. Daiquiri has sugar. Espresso martini has sugar syrup. A gimlet has simple syrup. Irish coffee has sugar. Long Island Ice Tea has more sugar syrup than any single liquor. Mai Tai has simple syrup. Mojito has cane sugar.
- IAmBroom 1y agoYes, drinking mai tai's (which are incredibly rare drinks, BTW) is like ... drinking soda pop. Way too much sugar. So are other cocktails - similar to soda pop, except consumed in quantities of 4-12 oz instead of the 12-24 oz servings of pop. Arguing that alcohol is bad because many popular drinks have too much sugar is simply a bizarre take. It's like worrying about second-hand smoke from too much gun violence.
- slau 1y agoI was simply providing a counterpoint to the idea that mocktails contain too much sugar. My point was that (m|c)ocktails in general contain too much sugar, regardless of alcohol content.
