On the Paleo diet and want to know if that glass of Whiskey you just poured is OK to drink?
No! Alcohol like Whiskey is distilled and not Paleo 👎!
Why is Whiskey Not Paleo?
Whiskey is not recommended while on Paleo for the following reasons:
- It is distilled and not ‘all natural’
- It is made from grains which are not Paleo friendly. Other alcohol made from fruit is recommended while on Paleo
Our Final Say
We recommend not drinking while on Paleo or any other diet. If you are going to drink we recommend trying something like Vodka or Tequila that is distilled from fruit rather than grains.
