What are the consequences of excessive champagne consumption? Insights from an expert.

Champagne contains a significant amount of sugar, which can reach up to 50 grams per liter. This characteristic makes the drink particularly harmful, even when compared to semi-sweet wines, which nutritionists also recommend avoiding.

“According to recommendations, the daily sugar intake for an adult should not exceed 25 grams. However, a bottle of champagne contains double that amount, which can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity,” explained the specialist.

Moreover, excessive sugar can lead to a rapid spike in blood glucose levels, which, in turn, contributes to a decline in metabolism and weight gain.

Champagne, like other sweet beverages, can create an illusion of moderation in alcohol consumption, but the consequences for the body can be quite severe. For New Year's Eve, vodka is the optimal choice. Unlike wines, liqueurs, and other alcoholic drinks, vodka contains no sugar, helping to avoid additional issues related to excess sugar. However, it's important to limit consumption to 50-100 milliliters.

“Of course, it’s best to completely abstain from alcohol. This way, you can avoid not only the negative effects of alcohol but also the additional risks associated with sugar. The key is to avoid overeating and to snack moderately, steering clear of fatty meat appetizers, pork, and lamb,” he added.
