Ah, parties! That magical moment when everyone seems to be on a personal mission to deplete the world's alcohol supply.

But you, brave and responsible reader, decide that tonight you'll stay sober. Instead of a colorful cocktail or a cold beer, you opt for a refreshing... Diet Coke. And now what? Well, you’re sober, but let’s not forget that you drank a few sodas.

Do you drink too much alcohol? Science has the answer


Why avoid alcohol, even if it's just for one night?



We've all heard that red wine may have health benefits, but science continues to debate whether it is truly the miracle elixir some believe it to be. The World Health Organization reminds us that there is no safe amount of alcohol. Wow, what a party!

Did you know that even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of certain types of cancer and liver problems? So maybe tonight you'd prefer not to raise a glass to your liver.

And if you are the designated driver, need to get up early, or simply don’t want to tell your boss what you really think of their jokes, you might want to stay away from alcoholic beverages.

Amazing 10 Benefits of Quitting Alcohol


What about soda?



Sure, soda won't leave you swaying or with a hangover, but it's not a panacea. Regular sodas are loaded with sugar. A can of regular Coca-Cola contains 39 grams of sugar. That's more than you should consume in an entire day!

Imagine that energy boost followed by a monumental crash. Additionally, those empty calories can lead to long-term health problems, such as type 2 diabetes.

And what about diet soda? While it has no sugar or calories, it's full of artificial sweeteners. Some studies suggest that consuming them in excess could have negative long-term effects.

Oh, and let's not forget about caffeine. You might end up so awake that you could write an entire novel before being able to sleep.


What to ask for then?



No despair, there are solutions. How about a sparkling water adorned with a splash of fresh juice or herbs like mint? This way, you'll have flavor and bubbles without the excess sugar.

There is also a new trend in bars: mocktails. These are non-alcoholic cocktails that allow you to enjoy a sophisticated drink without the risk of spilling your darkest secrets to your boss.

Alcohol stresses the heart, what can we do?


Brilliant Conclusion



Changing alcohol for soda every now and then is a great idea, but try not to drink too much. Alternate with water to maintain balance. After all, we are here to enjoy, not to complicate our lives with decisions that make us feel like a cola drink in a world of cocktails.


Cheers and enjoy the party without complications!
