When you are on the ketogenic diet, there are some restrictions and drinking alcohol, although not restricted is advised against. This is because it will slow down your weight loss efforts because the liver begins processing it immediately, but this disrupts the regular fat-burning process of the food you eat, which in turn, slows down your metabolism.
When drinking any type of alcohol, it’s important to drink responsibly. Never drink and drive. It’s important to be careful when drinking alcohol after being on the keto diet for a while. Your body will be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol and you may experience a more intense hangover.
