As summer approaches and Ibiza’s bars and clubs reopen, the opportunities to have a glass of something cold increase. Many of us enjoy a glass of wine or a gin and tonic, but it really is important to drink in moderation.
Unfortunately, alcohol has adverse effects on both physical and mental health. It can increase the risk of a variety of diseases, exacerbate anxiety, hamper our sleep, sap out energy and worsen gut health. It’s recommended that we don’t regularly consume more than 14 units of alcohol per week, equivalent to around six pints of beer, six medium size glasses of wine or seven double measures of spirits.
Keeping a drinks diary for a couple of weeks and noting down every alcoholic drink you consume can be an insightful exercise. You can also make a note of the circumstances in which you drink and how you feel at the time to identify what situations might be triggering (over)consumption.
Try alcohol free alternatives – low sugar kombucha is a great option. When you do drink, choose low sugar beverages such as a good quality dry wine or champagne. The old trick of having a glass of water between alcoholic drinks really does work wonders.
