Why You Should NEVER Drink Vodka with Sparkling Water
You can do endless things in a bar: kiss, hang over the bar, dance with the bartender, drink from a bottle with your girlfriends – hey, why not. But there is one thing you should never do, according to our colleagues at Amayzine, and that is drink vodka with sparkling water. Never.
We mean it, because this drink tastes like nothing, is secretly not particularly cheap, and gets you very, very drunk without you realizing it. You may think it’s not too bad in that crowded bar, but unfortunately. It’s the sneak thief among cocktails. The spy among drinks. The traitor in your glass. You never see it coming, but it takes you down. And the next day, you feel all the worse for it. And broke.
Strong drink
A small glass of vodka contains approximately 86 calories. Add some sparkling water and a slice of lemon and you have a respectable drink that will make your hips rejoice. Because: very good for your waistline. By comparison, a beer quickly contains 110 calories. That makes quite a difference. But with beer, you do feel full, so at some point you notice that you’ve had enough and are tipsy.
Vodka with water: not so much. Your poor head the next morning. Your brain thought it was having a nice glass of water with lemon, because, well, vodka doesn’t have any taste, but the painful truth is that the clear danger can contain anywhere between 37 and 70 percent alcohol. Most varieties contain between 40 and 45 percent alcohol. Good morning.
Maybe stick to beer?
Incidentally, the extent to which you suffer from a serious hangover does vary from person to person. On average, a woman feels hungover after drinking three to five drinks, while a man only does after five or six drinks. The golden tip is mainly to eat something before you start drinking; that way, alcohol remains in your stomach a little longer, allowing more of it to be broken down before it enters your bloodstream. Maybe you’ll still get something out of your weekend. Maybe, if you drink beer.
