Do you drink alcohol?

Question

As an all natural lady, I tend to feel negatively about alcohol because it's literally toxic poison in your body. I've been eating clean on the paleolithic diet (no processed foods, added sugar, grains, dairy, etc) and I took a sip of an alcoholic drink yesterday for the first time in months and it was just awful. Tasted like straight sugar and bubbly toxin. I want to be able to drink every once in a while though. Do any of you stay away from alcohol? If not, what could I order or make at home that isn't so sugary and feels more natural in the body?

Answer

What were you drinking? If you are having cooler or something mixed with pop then of course there's going to be sweet and have a lot of sugar. 
Beer, wine and harder alcohols don't have added sugars in them.
I've been staying away from sugar so when I want to drink I have gin mixed with water and lemon juice. Sometimes mint and cucumber as well. 
Just stay away from the sparkling drinks and stuff mixed with pop or juice.

Answer

There are a lot of organic alcohols out there, there is organic cucumber vodka that is amazing, all clean ingredients. I mix it with white cranberry juice, basil leaves, and cucumber. Very good and healthy! Also organic wines- Chardonnay has less sugar flavor.

Answer

Guinness is a good beer to drink. There are many health benefits.

Answer

The healthiest alcohol you can drink is organic red wine.

Answer

If I consume alcohol it's likely in tincture form as medicine. I find that tincture of echinacea, for example, is cheaper and more effective than making echinacea root tea (which takes 15 minutes at a time and the amount of herb that would make days of tinctured doses). In most cases, though, I prefer teas anyway. And you can make tinctures of some herbs with glycerin or ACV.
For recreational use, I try to follow the same rules I follow for food- only ingredients that actually exist naturally and make sense being added. 
If drinking feels wrong to you, then don't.  There's no reason to ignore your convictions over an unnecessary practice.  It's certainly not more healthful to drink in most cases.

Answer

I only drink wine and beer. I even find white wine is too sweet for me and can only have a few glasses without getting sick. Stick to organic if that makes ya feel better- I haven't had much luck with finding a good organic wine though...
