5. Sweet cocktails
Next on our list of the worst beverages for your health are sweet cocktails. It should come as no surprise that alcohol consumption can lead to serious health issues, but when it comes to sweet alcoholic cocktails, they are even worse. Not only do they contain alcohol, but they are also filled with high amounts of sugar. Even the non-alcoholic ones can be bad for your health.
Sure, they taste great, but the alcohol in them is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This makes your blood glucose increase quickly, as though you’re having a liquid candy bar.
When drinking cocktails, stick with the ones that are lower in calories. Also, limit your alcohol consumption to 1-2 glasses a day.
