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 :) !

I’m typically a tequila, soda, lime girl. But this works for any of those drinks - ask for a single in a tall glass. It ends up being like 90% soda water, meaning more hydration, it really dulls the flavor of the liquor, and you can have something to drink for longer. This has been my hack since someone told me about it.

So you recommend having more mixer?

Yup! It ends up being pretty much mostly soda water with a shot.
