Drunks typically love vodka because they think it’s odorless (can’t smell it on their breath) and since it’s clear and easily disguised as water or mixed with anything.
All alcohol will do some damage over time; it’s very dehydrating and does a number on your skin. Besides the extra calories, alcohol will affect your blood sugar levels, causing high and lows. Red wine stains your teeth.
Alcohol is a depressant. Already a bit blue? Prepare to cry into your beer!
Anyway, here’s to you! Enjoy!

Please stop propagating this notion that alcohol is a depressant = alcohol makes you sad.
Sure, some people are sad weepy drunks, and alcohol abuse/addiction is often comorbid with mental health issues like depression. That’s not what it means for alcohol to be a depressant.
It’s a central nervous system depressant which means it slows down some functions of the brain which causes the slurred speech, etc. Benzos like Xanax and sedative-hypnotics like ambien are also depressants. Depressants are in contrast to stimulants like caffeine which increase CNS functions.

Sorry for what you've been through, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying a drink or two on the weekends.
+1 I laughed out loud when I read "Already a bit blue? Prepare to cry into your beer!"

what is an ACOA?
I assume it means Adult Child of Alcoholic. They probably had a traumatic childhood and abstain completely out of fear that they will become their parent.

I like vodka sodas because they have no carbs. I have zero guilt from enjoying them on the weekends. I'm not the type to drink all day or stay out all night. And I would never drive drunk or go to work drunk or wake up in the morning and drink....not my thing. At all.

It's the calories in the drink as well as the calories you want to consume while drinking and the next morning if a little hungover.
Lowest calorie is probably liquor with diet soda, or maybe a dry wine.

It's liquid calories. It's fairly easy to drink 1000 calories and barely realize.

Is it low carb beers, wine, spirits, bubbly? I've never quite understood the science as to why alcohol are killers on a diet, but curious to know that too. If you count the calories? Thanks
