Can we ask you questions?
What category would champagne fall under, wine?
My favorite Playa Cocktail for Burning Man - Pint glass - lots of ice - measured shot of whiskey of choice - fill with water! You get lots of water, and painkiller AND take it from a Veteran of Iraq,, the best flavor is COLD! - and people pay how much for flavored water??
For me, drinking is a gateway drug to Ben & Jerry’s.
Seriously my will power depletes and I act on impulse when drinking.
@@alexboy2111 yup
😂😂😂
🤣
True😂😂🙏
I used to drink pretty heavily, but since going keto and IF, I tend to only have a "cheat night" each week where I drink roughly 2-3 drinks. That used to be nothing, but now I get headaches in the middle of the night and feel like shit the next morning. It's interesting that my cravings for alcohol are lower, and that drinking just a little gives me a hangover. It's probably the best diet for kicking alcoholism.
💯
True
same here.
True. I cannot believe humans are still even talking about "what kind of alcohol to drink" especially on a health channel. It is ALCOHOL it is a toxin, it kills millions, it belongs in the medicine cabinet or in storage with paints and stains. Why not just huff lacquer thinner?
If you need something use cannabis which is a natural plant. Alcohol is chemical.
As far as the thumbnail "Alpha"...if you need liquid courage you are not "alpha" but beta

Thumbs up from me. And I’ll take your share. :)

I’m glad I quit drinking beer 9 months ago no more High blood pressure issues off meds and lost 72 lbs
I don’t drink anymore. I don’t drink any less either!
If you drink a lot of alcohol, and you stop, you will lose weight.
Should I start drinking beer if I have low blood pressure? :P
@@victor555117 Couldn’t hurt.

Day 42 of ketosis, day 42 of no alcohol, I’ve never been this long without alcohol since I was 17, I’m now 27! Cravings went after 3 weeks
Good onion!

Drinking alcohol stops me from losing weight.
One thing that I never see brought up is that your brain can feed off alcohol, as it can pass thru the barrier. I lost an uncle due to his alcoholism. His brain was accustomed to feeding off alcohol. He had an accident and was hospitalized. The hospital did not know he was an alcoholic and did not give him the proper nutrition for his alcoholic brain. He went into a coma and died due to this. It is very important that people understand that if you drink too much alcohol, your brain can get accustomed to alcohol, and you cannot always quit cold turkey. Lack of alcohol can literally kill you, if your brain is using it for food.
Regularly drinking alcohol jacked my blood pressure up to 165 over 100. I quit for two months and my blood pressure went down to 110 over 70. Everyone talks about your liver on alcohol but never your blood pressure.
Alcohol wreaks havoc in so many ways, but most people only think about the liver. It causes so many different cancers, destroys our heart and of course our brain. Big Alcohol doesn't want you to know that though which is why they sponsor so many articles trying to tell us that drinking is good for x, y and z.
BP has never been a problem with me and alcohol. If it were, and I were to stop drinking beer and my BP fell like yours I’d drop to 80/50
@@tannertuner Have you actually monitored your BP while constantly drinking?
@@googlespies day after, yes.
Not constantly. Do you “constantly”?
@@tannertuner I was drinking daily. For months. And yes it jacked up my blood pressure. I said this in my original post.
400lbs Nov 2019 was a scary reality. Since then I have been looking non stop for more info, more answers, more guidance and just something more. These videos your videos have become that for me. I continue to change my shopping, eating and daily habits. I am more active and get more exercise now. These videos fill my need to understand my body and how it works so I can change. Thank you.
I did order the Mojo Ketone Tester promo kit. according to a couple top tester list it was #1 and the least expensive when you look at test strip cost. I have always been happy with your choice of sponsors.
Super helpful!! Thank you! I wish you had covered the hard seltzer, too. So popular now for their low carb content, but most are made with malt liquor, and I don't know much about how they impact the body.
I know that for me personally, if I drink any I'm head first into every dessert I can shove in my face!! It heightens my craving for sugar tenfold.
@@otheh2636 lol
THANK YOU So much for this video! Super super helpful!!
So necessary. Thank you.
Wife - "Why do you always buy the most expensive bourbon"
Me - 'The more it's aged the "better" it is for my health. Checkmate'
😉😄
Keto and low-carb beer works, I've lived it myself. Drank between 15-20 cans per day for the last 14 months and have lost 25 kilos. I feel great and look great and will stop drinking soon before my Liver throws the towel in.
Bourbon is my favourite drink AND, word to hear/say!
@@normangrandy8904 same love boubon
I don’t think Tom knows that all bourbons are aged in charred oak barrels.
Wow such a fantastic helpful video.. I love you more every day Thomas.. thank you so much for all that work you’re doing for us.. god will pay you back 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much for this! Very helpful! Can you please comment or do a video on hard seltzers and non alcohol beers? Have a great weekend!!
Technically erythritol is the best alcohol for keto
For some reason this struck me as the nerdiest thing I've read all day. Well done
If you’re constipated
Thomas: what I do with red wine is I take my keto blood glucose meter strip and dip it into the wine for a second and then it measures how much residual sugar is in the wine. So if you are getting 100 on the meter it means the wine has 1% residual sugar which is a dry red wine. Some red wines, even really expensive ones, have as much as 5%. Even some fruity wines actually are quite dry and don’t have a lot of sugar in them. So the best thing to do with wine is just use that blood glucose meter and test it and then you’ll know if it’s gonna affect you or not. I’ve done this and I’ve noticed that as long as It’s under a percent and a half it doesn’t affect my keytones that is as long as you’re only having a glass. On another note even if the alcohol is higher like 14 1/2% it doesn’t mean that there’s less sugar even though you might think so: the reason is it depends on when they harvested the grapes and so some winemakers will push the bricks up above 25 and then hope that there’s more residual sugar left. But as a general rule you know that has some logic in it but I think the different winemakers or styling wines differently and doing things that that’s not the best way to test how much sugar is left in the wine..
Good timing. I’ve just had two very large aperol spritzers and I’m already hungover. ⚡️
*It's important to be mindful of alcohol choices while on a ketogenic diet, and your insights provide valuable guidance. Thank you for sharing this valuable information and helping viewers make informed decisions!*

Thomas speaking as one who don't drink. It's great to see you!
From Craig. GBR.
Such a unique video love it!!
Great summary at 8:50. Thanks!
Youre the man love youre in depth
"Look for higher alcohol", I think Thomas is just trying to get us drunk
shot, shots🤣🤣
I'd been proud of how much I'd reduced my drinking until I had an ultrasound and my doctor told me my liver had sustained a lot of damage from the previous years. So now it's not even an option until my liver regens.
In Norway and Sweden I know that the amount of sugar in wine is given on the label in the store, so it makes it a lot easier to pick wines with low sugar contents.
I always pick a nice Vintage Chianti with 2 g of sugar 👍
Any brands of white Norway or Swedish wine that are low in sugar that are sold here in US that you could recommend?
Anything distilled is clear. I know because I make my own vodka, brandy and whiskey. The coloring typically comes from being in charred barrels. I do not get a hangover when I drink, but I also drink water. Much of the hangover is caused by dehydration, unless the distiller did not do the job right and some nasty chemicals got in like butane.
I’m glad I watched the entire video… I very nearly had to drop keto until I finished my Bowmore 18
I see you using Nashville footage. Broadway is the best! :)
This is a great video♥️
Going from hanging out with friends who binge drank on the weekend to not really drinking at all (once every 3-4 months) has made all the difference.
When I have a good bourbon it’s always neat or one ice cube. The clear spirits are almost always mixed which brings a host of other components into the picture.
Indeed. Who drinks pure vodka? If it does not taste good, but you drink only to get drunk, then I´d strongly suggest to change that. Also Thomas kinda claimed that brandy, whisky and rum are not distilled - unlike vodka. That is obviously wrong. All strong spirits are distilled, including ouzo, fruit spirits, korn, absinthe etc. Cheap stuff might not restrict to the middle flow and thus have more methanol and propanol in them than you´d like.
Thank you so much for helping me with my start n this new lifestyle!
Question: Any Omega-3 supplements you reccomend? There are SO MANY at my local Vitamin Shoppe. Thanks again!
So like aged cheese is better so is aged alcohol? Sounds like that would be a good video! I'm a little over a week on Keto and just ordered a Mojo Meter, thanks for all the great content you put out! It's really helping me do this!
Haven’t drank in 6 months. I’ve probably only drank a total of 3 times since starting keto back in January 2020. I used to go out almost every weekend prior to covid. I recently went on a date, had a couple glasses of wine & I was loosey goosey 🥂😂 I just find it crazy how I used to pound those sugary cocktails like water & now I can barely handle 2 glasses of wine 💀
Right? I've wasted SO much money on booze and food in an endless cycle of misery. Aged high quality red wine and vodka is all that I can handle now.
So much truth in your comment. Just wanted to say, that's how many accidental overdoses happen. An alcoholic or drug addict will go sober or clean while in jail or rehab, maybe 6 months or so, then get released. They go to buy booze or dope at their old dosage when they were at the height of their addictions. They'll down a handful of pills, or syringe of heroin, or liter of vodka in a sitting and end up dead because their tolerance had reset itself during their sobriety. The body and liver are very resilient. It only takes about 2 weeks to a month to reset your tolerances. If you can keep your "party day" to just once per month, you'll always get smashed off a 6 pack of beer. ;)
Same...I haven't had alcohol in over a year and don't miss it at all
Just like SAD ( Standard American Diet), we’ve been programmed to think bad things are good. Our brains utilizing ketones vs. sugar creates mental clarity over chaos. I prefer the former.
@@thorzyan not to mention the electrolyte factor. That’s seems to be the part that I’ve really had to focus on. I never understood how much sodium or the imbalance thereof, was creating many of my issues. I have no tolerance for alcohol induced dehydration.
Be careful! Thomas said that "generally" the higher the alcohol the lower the sugar, but sometimes the winemaker will make a high alcohol wine, then 'backsweeten" the wine, increasing the sugar! Stay away from a port wine.
Thanks for the showing Broadway street in Nashville, TN at 0:47 now when I go bar hopping I'll always order a shot of vodka
A good 12/15 yer old single malt whiskey has always been my drink of choice...good to know that its a good choice!
Hey Thomas how about seltzers? Are those a good option?
.. thanks thomas!.. ive always been in to higher alcohol contents such as a cabernet.. began with a sweet Stella that was good at the time. then got in to the dry ones.. after trying stella rosa.. it was disgusting to me because i had given up the sugars and carbs.. i was surprised to have lost roughly around 15lbs doing OMAD and still having 5-8oz of a cabernet sauvignon a night.. i assume everyone else is different and can get away with certain things to a certain degree..
So im a few days into keto, my body is reacting and getting hypersensitive. I had a stressfull day and had a small party at home, drank a bottle of wine and a couple of shots. I puked pure acid for hours nonstop. Even tho i was empty. Worst thing in a long time. I really recommend keeping the drinking to a bare minimum. Atleast in the beginning. (Well based on my experience and body/mind)
I stick to spirits every now and then, since keto I’ve just had 0 cravings for alcohol in general
I very rarely have alcohol, and when I do, it's literally just 2 beers and pizza every few months, so its something I never worried about.
Great content. Whats is your take on Hard Kombucha's?
I don't drink frequently, so I justify it that way spending extra on the "good stuff".
The congener topic is interesting. You mention bourbon and “whiskey” is high in congeners. I’d love to know if Irish whiskey is included in that as many Irish whiskeys are “triple distilled”.
Wait what about Hard Seltzer’s aka White Claw and Michelob Ultra organic seltzer’s? Please reference them in a video🤷♀️🙏✅
I was thinking the same! @thomas please advise
You guys need Thomas to tell you that p*ss is horrible for your health? Do you think drinks you find in a 7-11 cooler case have the ultra-aged, finely distilled qualities he described as "least damaging" to your liver?
Good stuff! But no alcohol for me! Cheers!
I'll just drink one glass of dry wine and let all the rest of this figure itself out. Yikes.
Have you tried Usual Wines? No added sugar, sulfates, organic and they’re single 6oz serving in bottles. Such a good option for Keto.
All whiskey is aged in wood/ oak barrels for a minimum amount amount of time , it’s where it gets it color and some of its flavor notes
Hey Thomas. Love ur channel. What about Tequilas congeners?
Wonderful information for us keto alcoholics.
Thank you
In Montreal at the all powerful SAQ (Société des Alcools du Québec) all wines are listed with the sugar concentration g/L. It may not be all the carbs (are there any others?). But the SAQ has a sort of Monopoly on quality wines and the quality control is possible. I guess it’s similar in Ontario.
So I’ve had the most bizarre thing happen to me after I drink. So I’ve been on Keto for 5 months and every couple of weeks I’ll go out and have 4-5 beers that are always IPAs and yes my ketones drop to 0.1 the next morning but after a workout the same day my ketones will sky rocket to around 1.7. I’ve actually used a day of drinking to raise my ketones levels and start fat loss again when I’m in small plateau. However when I do drink that many beers I really regulate the carbs from food for that day .
Bravo 9n this subject👍
Hi Thomas,
I have a question with regards to the amount of calories alcohol adds to my intake:
100 ml of vodka at 40% alcohol content include about 40g of alcohol, which converts to 280 kcal.
However if a 70kg male drinks 100 ml of vodka, it leads to a blood alcohol content of 0.035% (based on commonly available blood alcohol calculators), which, at about 6l blood in the body, means that only about 2g of this alcohol made it into the bloodstream. What happened with the other 38g? Can we assume that effectively the 100ml vodka only add 14 kcal to the person’s calorie intake or did I miss something?
I’ve never been a big on alcohol, but during the summer I do enjoy some Irish whiskey with a nice fatty steak or beef ribs just once in awhile on a nice hot day.
I usually drink light rum (clear), not spiced rum (dark). Do you put those both in the same category?
That's fine I only drink Lagavulin 16, with a drop of extra distilled spring water....
Regt up
Can you use Specific Gravity in a wine to determine the a relative sugar/carb level?
I live in the Kentucky bluegrass area where bourbon is made. The holy Trinity for quality and price are Jack Daniels whiskey from TN, then Maker's Mark from KY, then Woodford Reserve from KY. For cheap beer, you get more alcohol for the money with the ice beers. I like the New Belgium beers out of Asheville NC for their quality and price. The West 6th porter beer from Lexington KY is good.
I walked away from alcohol 2 weeks ago and started keto. Now I no longer wake up in a fog and feel good.
Hi Thomas, what about Champagne? Which ones are better when doing Keto?
Whiskey is distilled clear like vodka and gin, then aged in oak barrels for color and flavor. Literally what he said was a good thing...I think Thomas needs to provide some clarification on why he thinks whiskey should be avoided.
Vodka goes through Rectification process, which is very different from destilation.
Yes . What do we need to eat to help to activate fat loss . Ppar ?. Walking and exercise after fasting understandable
Where does gluten-free beer stand on list. Is it the same as normal beer.
Great content keep up the good work.
Yamazaki whiskey 12yr aged, got it.
There are multiple studies that say moderate drinkers out live everyone else.......
I saw that! It was in the Journal of Alcoholics in Denial. Super moderate drinking can be beneficial to longevity, but in no wino's dream is it the sole factor in anyone outliving anyone else.
The low calorie category of beer has really taken off the past few years. There are many out there now that are under 100 calories.
Gluten free beer has been doing wonders for me! I have to have my beer. A beer that is not gluten free but very close is a Japanese beer called Asahi! Its amazing!
I drink Corona Premier dressed with salt and lime and haven't had any issues!
@Geleeuw had it once and then again 3 weeks later. It has a kick!
hey, good advices as usually, i tried PURE wines, without sugars, what u think of those?
Hey Tom. What about the organic 2g or no sugar seltzer waters that are available. I am a beer man but made the switch to seltzer water. I noticed I do not get bloated on the water and its half the alcohol level of the various beers I drank. Note I have a high tolerance to alcohol. Not that is anything to brag about but I could kill a case of moderate alcohol level beer and still not only function (not to mean driving) but not wake up with a hangover. I just do not get hungover. Its likely a combo of a high tolerance and the fact I also consume a ton of water even while I am drinking. In many cases the hangover is due to being dehydrated. I know this because I have been over the top at times so I have been there and done that. I do not do that anymore as an FYI. With that I am trying to make better decisions as to what I drink. My wife is Canadian and drinking a few each day after work is just a social thing and very common when you go to a Canadian home. I say there is no such thing as an alcoholic in Canada because they all drink and they can drink just about anyone under the table. Any thought on the seltzer water would be appreciated.
My favorite Playa cocktail for Burning Man - Pint glass - lots of ice- a measured shot of your whiskey of choice - top with water! you get lots of water, painkiller AND take it from a Veteran of Iraq - the best flavor is COLD!
When I’m in Keto and I have Beer my scalp gets really flaky.
I get these round patches of dry scalp all over.
I'm drinking Truly lemonade low carb Seltzers as I'm watching this on vacation!
I drink a couple of these as a treat on the weekends. I hope he plans on talking about the seltzers!
Do you place white rum in the same category of rum, in general? In the "stay away" category? Thanks, in advance.
You ought to know that the new Keto-Mojo GK+ no longer displays glucose in mmol, making the mental math for gki a little more difficult (just in case you do the math yourself and want to avoid sharing your personal health data with a smartphone).
So 15yr scotch is a go! Assuming moonshine too.
How do I learn the congeners levels in Bota Box Shiraz and Merlot? Thank you
Gave up drinking totally once I went keto, iPa beer was my drink of choice, rather stick with zero carbs and zero calories 420.
Can confirm, 420 > booze. I cured NAFLD already, would like to keep it that way.
Whats your take on being on keto trying to "bulk" or gain weight/muscle? It seems keto is most often used to lose weight. Cheers for all the videos
You can up your calories to bulk. everything related to diet, even keto, is based on calorie consumption too. if you go over your caloric intake even on keto, you will plateau and maintain or possibly even gain weight back.
What about seltzers like truly and white claws? Truly had supposedly only 1g carb per can
And it goes without saying don't mix with sugary drinks.
Im watching with a beer in hand right now Thanks Thomas
You should really add a warning about alcoholic ketoacidosis... If anyone doing a prolonged fast drinks alcohol it can be life-threatening...
Anyone with the discipline for a prolonged fast is extremely unlikely to break a fast with beer, or any alcohol.
@@paintedpony2935 absolutely lol
Lol if anyone is drinking alcohol during a prolonged fast...
So stick with McAllen 25 and Pappy 23?
I really hope he does one for white claw and all these seltzer beers cuz they're really low carb but when you look at all the additives and everything I don't know what half the ingredients are. Who's lying I probably don't know most of them
Thomas the king of fitness UA-cam 😈😈😈😈
I just wish he would get to the bloody f**king point instead of droning on and on and on…😳😵💫
Lol its a nine minute video. Imagine complaining about that...
Dry white plus monkfruit equals sweet wine.
Thoughts on everclear grain alcohol?
Aging alcohol is not fermentation! It is an extraction of resins in the barrel. Congeners are purely dependent on yeast fermentation conditions; fruit vs grain, pot vs reflux still, temp, ph, specific gravity, yeast strain.
Alcohol affects my hypothyroid so bad that I had to quit.
Sucks doesn't it. I was diagnosed April but had it right before the pandemic '20
An occasional glass of wine on KETO is much better than a mug of beer. I had always treated myself to a pint of IPA beer after playing golf. Now I order a glass of white wine lower in carbs (Chardonnay or Pino Grigio) which perfectly satisfies. Modification is key unless you're an alcoholic.
What i would really like no know is IF we have alcohol either as a drink or in our food(some dishes are just too damn good) how much will affect us how much of it and WHAT can we do to offset the effects. Like should we do a HiiT at that day before to "make room for the carbs"? Should be have a special diet after thet "cheat drink day"?or Special work out?
What about drinking a 6 pack of IPA Huskies Alaskan beer roughly, each day or maybe 4 times a week? Each beer is 7.5% alcohol
Funny coincidence i was just wondering if Thomas ever did a video on alcohol and this video was uploaded not even a day ago
