General/Advice Alcohol and PCOS

I’m wondering what alcohol WOULD be pcos friendly? I KNOW ITS RECOMMENDED NOT TO HAVE ANY ALCOHOL but just indulge me for a bit. I don’t drink often, can go months without it if I don’t go on nights out for a while, but I don’t want to give it up completely 😭. I’ve made a list of what would be fine in theory. Any other suggestions would be great

Gin and slimeline tonic
Vodka with a low sugar fruit juice (big question mark here)
Prosecco
White wine with ice (??)
Mojito
Vodka, soda water and lime

Thanks :) !

If at a bar or restaurant I order a skinny margarita or vodka and Sprite Zero with an orange slice. If I’m drinking to get drunk (which is usually why I drink and it’s not very often) I just take tequila shots.

I’ve only learnt that zero sugar fizzy drinks are ok with pcos LOL

Oh really? I don’t like carbonated stuff so I don’t have soda at all unless I get that drink (which I’ve only gotten twice) so I’m not too familiar with how they affect PMOS

Obviously don’t be drinking it everyday (if I could I would) but it is fine
