I used to drink tons of alcohol. My Italian father made wine. Beer, I drank lots. I slowly developed some kind of liver pain and I felt physically sick after taking a drink. I had liver tests except a biopsy. Liver tests were "normal." So I decided to stop drinking alcohol completely. And at 60 yrs old + and not taking in any alcohol I feel a lot better and no more liver pain!
Almost 9 months sober. I was in Italy recently with my wife who enjoys wine from time to time. I didn’t drink at all despite some confused looks from those around us. I missed nothing at all by avoiding alcohol.
Great video. Just a note, rum and cognac fall under the same category and I understand you didn't want to go into too much detail so I leave it here in the comments as a sidenote. Both rum and cognac have no added sugar most of the times. Under certain gi (geographical indications) rum is allowed to have small amounts added after distillation and cognac actually allows up to 7gr of sugar per little after distillation afaik. If you like any of the two spirits(I love rum) look at the label, proper rums should show : 1. No sugar added, 2. Non chill filtered, 3. Natural colored(meaning if they are aged they are brown due to the barrel giving colour and not having added caramel colour which is used in almost every whiskey you are.going to find in non specialty shops). Unless stated in the label if you see a colored spirit it is 100% caramel colour and not natural. Also a sidesidenote is that properly made beer has almost no starch if amylase was used properly, that's why you should prioritize craft breweries which are aparted by people who love and know what they do. Thank you for breaking down stuff for all the people. Great content!
@@robthevampireslayer3211 most commercial does. I mean super market rum. Most rum doesn't have sugar in it. I am not naive, I have drunk rum from most distilleries worldwide lol...
As one of the owners of a brewery, I could be expected to be a beer drinker. And yet I typically drink only 2 beers 🍻 a month, and only one at a session. And I almost never drank hard liquor. So I was surprised a few years ago to find that I had fatty deposits in my liver. Only recently through watching videos from doctors did I come to understand how that could be. So am now reducing sugar & carbs. I may still drink about one beer a month. But otherwise will stick to limited amounts of gin without any sugary mixers.
When I allow myself a drink, I select vodka or gin and club soda or seltzer with a squeeze of lemon or lime. This skips the sugar or sugar tasting soda pop altogether .
I can confirm about the gin. for the 4 years I was an alcoholic and for the best part of that time I was drinking only gin as it was the cheapest and I was drinking alot of it. easaliy going through a 750ml bottle a day and I never put on weight. I belive that if i was drinking the same amount in beer that I would be a 250kg+, and a dead man, I'm supprised im still alive to be frank... But, since september 2020 I have been completely alchohol free. I dont even miss it.
@@crex8751 That explains why you were able to recover so well. The resiliency of youth. Good for you!! I hope you never fall off the wagon the rest of your life. There is no solace or answers at the bottom of a bottle. Only more and worse problems await. Love and peace to you Clark. 👍
They say once you quit caffeine you actually have more energy since there's no caffeine crash to factor in. Longterm health effects is another matter and I too would like Dr. Ekberg to do a video on that.
I know it's not perfect, but I workout profusely and keep my diet under control so that I can enjoy my single glass of red wine. Having the occasional glass of red in the evening just takes the stress out of my day and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I can’t limit myself to 1 or 2 per day. It me 50 years to realize that. I have occasional pangs, but they go away fast because I know how bad it is for me.
I am _so_ fortunate! I come from a family of severe drinkers (my mother was an alcoholic) and I don't _like_ the stuff. My only source of alcohol is the alcohol in my K'fir. And I'm not about to be too worried about that.
I stopped drinking alcohol in 1990. Best thing I ever did for myself. I despise alcohol for all the people that I know that died from it. I never drank much but any is too much.
1 to 2 drinks a day x 5days = 5 to 10 drinks a week. Because I don't drink during weekdays, it mean I can enjoy few glasses of my whiskey on the weekend. Now keto is becoming more fun. Thanks Dr Ekberg.
Alcohol has lots of phosphorous in it which, in too high of dosage, will cause the digestive system, liver, kidneys, and intestines to not absorb nutrients and exhaust by-products properly while digesting food and other suppliments.
I'm a beer kind of girl, but since it's not the greatest thing for me I choose not to drink at all, hard liquor I've never been a fan of, it burns my throat
I drank heavy years ago. Quit for years and tried light drinking but found it thought consuming so just avoid alcohol altogether. Pointless and detremental to drink or even smoke pot.
In Mediterranean culture, exposure to some wine mixed with abundant water starts in childhood, perhaps as alternative to milk. I personally don't recall being ever drunk in my almost seventy years of existence, and yes, no beer tummy...
Wine have pesticides mostly from grape, mead and rum have less pesticides as its made from molasses, vodka and other hard liquor eliminate most chemicals with extraction of methanol at start of distillation.
So are IPA’s better not worse, I don’t drink licor, Scotch, Vodka, Coñac or anything like that I buy a six pack of IPAs weekly only drink Friday and Saturday and 3 is always my measure, usually Elysian Space Dust, Dog Fish Head, Two Hearted Ale, and they are 8% Vol or up 8.5 9 and so on are those better than regular beer?
I've been drinking for my cardio health. That's my one concern. Thought beer was better than whisky, So now I might go back to whisky. Of course, if zero drinking was better, that is the way I'd go. There is a lot of info out there saying one drink a day is good for the heart. Searching for the truth.
Drink suggestion! You could make a coffee drink with vodka, brewed coffee, milk of choice(oat for example) and stevia 😀 So happy to hear that a couple of glasses of wine won’t mess up my health!
Sounds like a white Russian. I would probably use heavy cream for such an occasion. 😜Just make sure that you give yourself at least two non-drinking days per week😇
I am cutting weight yes but it's too slow compared to what I have done for a year. I have followed all your instructions to the dot but I am losing to little in weight! I have lost only 20kgs from 110kgs to 90 in a whole year on keto, fasting, cardio and HIIT as you taught us.!! Frank
It's ok, I lost 27 kilograms in 4 years, I was 110 kgs in mid 2018, the time I stopped all types of alcohol, processed foods, sugar, juices and all bad / fast foods, now body health challenges have dropped to below 20 percent, which I think is ok at my age of 68 years .
Thanks for sharing this information about alcohol. I'm curious about the other work that the liver would be doing (and gives up to metabolize alcohol). Why isn't tequila included?
I’ve switched to vodka, sparkling mineral water with the juice of fresh limes and lemons. A spoonful of stevia or some fresh mint leaves is nice too. I used to be quite a heavy drinker but since doing Keto and IF, I drink every couple of weeks and my hangovers are way less since I switched to this drink instead of sugary wines and beers. Wish I’d have known all this stuff years ago!
Yes I just accodentally made this at home before a night out. I figured if I got merry at home on homemade pure drink I’d only need one junk drink in the bar sipped slowly. I still need to work out what I could have out. It’s frustrating that bars haven’t caught up with cafe menus. Although I will cheer the day a cafe offers a low-carb keto friendly menu option 😂
Moderate alcohol consumption has been shown to reduce both the acute insulin secretions and the "Long" phase secretions. This is probably the mechanism for the statistical findings that link 1-2 drinks a day to increased longevity. BUT stick with Dry Wines and Zero Carb Lite Beers...to "lean into" as much benefit as possible.
Dr Ekberg, I learned so much from your video. It’s short but clear, we really like it. There is one question from me, some people say alcohol may cause esophagus cancer, is this true ? Say if two to three glasses of red wine 🍷 in a week, will this be a problem?
Have you ever wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol? Because Dr. Ekberg said that's all I could have. Purity of essence, Mandrake!
Zevia is an awesome soda. I have cut out all sugar soda in my diet and started drinking Zevia. Unfortunately, they only sell them in cans, and I cannot take a can into work with me, which is where I drink my soda. :( I wish they would put them in a plastic bottle so I can take them to work with me.
You like the flavor of beer?😂😂😂 been drinking alcohol almost everyday for the last 2 decades. Never liked the taste. Trying to quit is why here. Thanks for the information.
thanks for this, its nice to see that it's possible to be healthy but still live within some "social norms" with the right choices. a little sad about beer being compared to a donut though lol.
Dr. Sten Ekberg I try to look for beers that are very low in carb such as bud select 55, or michelob ultra. I’m not sure how good or bad they are but I’ll be doing more research on this.
There are coupons online. We ask Publix to order, but found Ingles was the cheapest around us. I believe Kroger has it too. There are other stevia sodas, but that is the most widely found.
Their website has a locator for nearby stores. Looks like a number of places I go to carry it. Great example of "something not looked for is not found." :-) Thanks for mentioning it.
OK beer ist Not recommended regarding the Gluten, etc. Yes or hast a high Glu Index. But what is about the Minerals and the other stuff? IT contains more ingredients as wine (i will not say ist ist better as wine). Ist IT really bad because the people drink IT since hundreds of years?
sir I have one question. I drink 3 drinks par day for 3 days a week. is it too much? I be sober for 4 days a week. please suggest me sir!, I would be greatful to u.
I`m not the doctor here, but as long as you dont increase this volume its probably fine. The real problem is when you start with this every single day. Then its a big problem. Try once in a while to not drink at all for 1 or 2 weeks. If you can do that, you are not in the danger zone.
what about how much water should a person drink ? is there any video about that ? i have never drank a lot of water ........ now all people (doctors, therapists) are saying i should drink more water, so i am ...... ever sins i have a constant headache , not very severe but still distracting, i am not that sure drinking a lot of water is that good for you ....... they say at least (very minimum) 1 and a half liters per day, besides all tea milk, alc. etc., etc. who can give me some clarity on this subject?
Only drink when you're thirsty. And drink water 90% of that time. Also, you need to make sure you have enough salt in your system when you're drinking a lot of water, or else it can cause headache and even brain swelling.
Alcohol wrecks my body so bad. I have inflammation issues and I always flare up. A few good hours gets followed by a week of trying to fix new symptoms. I just have a drink maybe on my birthday and at new years and that is good enough for me.
Is that with beer, or just a clean alcohol like vodka too? I have stopped drinking beer all together and reduced my strong liquor. But I’ve never had issues with a little bit of strong liquor like vodka, but Im still pretty fat so loosing weight and using less generally affect the amount i can take.
When I drink I drink beer for 3-4 days say 40 beers then dont drink for 4 weeks it got that bad the hang over I thought I was going insane, I run cycle juice veg do weights and run mountains I cant go bk I'm 44 very fit and the drink was my worst friend..
Thank you Dorothy B. Yes all distilled hard spirit is same as whiskey as long as it does not have sugar added to it like a lot of flavored vodkas and rums.😄
So are you saying that drinks which have 40% alcohol or more are less toxic than beer? Cause I dont drink very often, but when I do I almost exclusively drink beer.
I’m aiming at a couple of beers once a month, I am recovering from a bout of pancreatitis and have fatty liver. Is my aim excessive ? I intend to not start for another year ..
The BOISE they add to Cognac does contain sugar. Look for a category BRUT Cognac. Other BRANDIES and especially RUM is also dosed with sugar, usually. Look into it.

Single Malt Scotch is typically done neat. Best practice is tiny sips from a small glass. Another drink I like is Gin with only lemon juice.
Very true, but I tend to dilute my Single Malt Scotch..with more Single Malt Scotch. Also my best practice is to do tiny gulps :)
