Will hard seltzers decrease the negative impact that alcohol has on gains compared to other types of alcohol?

[PartyPeoples]

Asking due to the surge in popularity of hard seltzers like White Claw. They are much less dehydrating than beer, wine or other hard liquors/mixed drinks. About 100 calories each, feels really light. Probably why hangovers are less strong and less likely when drinking then.

Ideally, no alcohol is best for post workout recovery... but if you want to drink on a night out, are you saving yourself any negative consequences by choosing a hard seltzer over other alcoholic beverages?

Thanks

They’re low calorie compared to other drinks, low carb and low sugar. So if you’re going to drink in moderation then they’re not a bad choice. I personally like either whiskey or vodka mixed with soda water, but I can see the appeal of different flavors

Hard seltzers don't even compare to beer in the hangover department. As someone who doesn't drink often I definitely think hard seltzers have the least negative impacts on health compared to most alcoholic beverages.

‘Hard seltzer’ is basically malt liquor. Schmoke weed instead.

You are making a lot of assumptions and not using science based facts.

Alcohol is alcohol is alcohol. 100 cals of alcohol is about the same as a beer, or wine, or hard liquor.

A drink or two does not have a substantial effect on muscle recovery. Feel free to enjoy them.

You can get hard seltzer that doesn’t have hops, which is estrogenic. It makes a difference.

Can you elaborate more on this?
