An interesting find.

The sugar in say Coke causes you to absorb alcohol into the bloodstream slower!

Where can we get a job putting this into a real life test??  Drink the same amount of a chosen alcohol with regular soft drink one night.. then repeat the next but with diet..

In japan i was drinking these cans of booze that were called Zero Strong. They were in various fruit flavours and 8% alcohol and zero sugar, plus they came in those big 500ml cans, it was win win win win win all round, except for the hangovers, they were a bit shitty.

My bar is open to BOARDWORLD MEMBERS anytime (as long as I’m at work).

Now just to create a cocktail that uses diet drink.
Side note; vodka, lime, soda is the most popular drink I’ve served in the last 18months. Its dry popular.
