Alcohol is everywhere, and many think that an occasional glass of wine or beer is harmless. But hold on! Not all alcoholic drinks are created equal — some are downright health bombs! Experts from VMA reveal the top three most harmful alcoholic drinks you should avoid like the plague. Cocktails like mojitos and Long Islands, popular across all generations, hide massive amounts of sugar that not only wreck your teeth but also gut flora. Sugar is a known culprit behind diabetes and obesity. Whiskey alone isn’t that bad, but mix it with cola and you get a calorie trap — one glass contains about seven sugar cubes! Sugar speeds up alcohol absorption into the bloodstream, amplifying its effects and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. And what about alcopops? Once a hit among youth, they’re still available in supermarkets. Besides sugar, they contain colors, preservatives, and even caffeine, which can further harm your health. If you want to enjoy cocktails guilt-free, try mocktails — non-alcoholic versions packed with fresh fruit, aromatic herbs, and natural sweeteners like honey and organic cane sugar. Your body will thank you! So next time you think about a cocktail, remember this dangerous trio and maybe pick something healthier. Got a favorite non-alcoholic recipe? Share it in the comments — maybe you’ll save someone’s day (and liver)!
