Best bet for alcohol?

I have a bachelorette party to go to this weekend and will probably be tempted by a drink or two. I know it's best to not indulge, however, the party is for one of my best friends and I don't think I'll be able to resist. What would be the best choice?

PHASE 2: What alcohol can I drink on Phase 2?



During Phase 2, alcohol can be reintroduced in moderation. Moderation is defined as 1-2 drinks per day. Wine is the best choice. Champagne, vodka, gin, rum, and bourbon are also fine. If you choose to drink, make sure you do so during or right after a meal, since a stomach full of food will slow the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream—and keep your blood sugar levels steadier. And, of course, you'll want to avoid sugary mixers like fruit juices and regular tonic—opt for diet tonic instead.

One drink=

  • 0.5 ounces of distilled alcohol
  • 3-5 ounces of wine
  • 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits
