Heather also told me that if I was going to drink, I was better off choosing a tequila and soda with lime instead of wine because it had less sugar. At first, this was a hard swap to make, since I do love my red wine, but I got used to the taste after a while, and found that the drink made me less tired than wine usually does. It was a compromise I was willing to make for two weeks—I didn’t want to cut out alcohol entirely.
