Glucose Goddess Jessie Inchauspe Shares The Best Alcohol Choices To Avoid Glucose Spikes
Paris | TheTrendingPeople.com | October 29, 2025: While alcohol is unlikely to earn a place on any “superfoods” list, one French biochemist is offering practical advice for those who still want to enjoy a drink — without wreaking havoc on their blood sugar levels.
Jessie Inchauspe, popularly known as the Glucose Goddess, recently took to Instagram on October 23 to share her top tips on how to drink smarter and protect your liver. Her guidance? Ditch the sugary cocktails and opt for simpler, low-sugar alternatives.
“Skip the Sugar-Loaded Cocktails,” Says Inchauspe
Inchauspe, who has gained a large following online for her evidence-based approach to blood sugar regulation, warned that sugary cocktails are among the worst offenders when it comes to glucose spikes and liver stress.
“If you have, for example, wine versus having a cocktail... the wine is going to cause less of a glucose spike because it contains less sugar,” she explained in her video. “A cocktail that contains sugar will cause a glucose spike and liver damage.”
According to Inchauspe, the combination of ethanol (alcohol) and sugar makes it especially taxing for the liver to process, leading to greater metabolic strain and potential health consequences over time.
Her Advice: Choose Simpler Drinks
Inchauspe encouraged her followers to choose drinks that contain less or no added sugar.
“If you want to take care of your glucose levels, avoid sugary cocktails,” she wrote in the caption of her post titled “The Best Alcohol To Drink.”
She added that drinks such as wine, beer, or spirits mixed with soda water tend to cause smaller glucose spikes compared to sweetened cocktails.
“If you want to pick the alcohol that’s going to be least bad for your body, go for an alcohol that is not mixed with sugar. So go for wine, beer, or a spirit with soda water instead of a heavy sugar cocktail. That way, you don’t give your liver two things to handle — ethanol and sugar — because that’s a lot,” Inchauspe said.
How Alcohol and Sugar Affect Glucose Levels
Nutrition experts agree that both alcohol and sugar can impact blood glucose, though in different ways. Alcohol can initially cause a drop in blood sugar levels by slowing down glucose release from the liver, while sugary mixers cause a rapid spike.
When combined, the effect can be unpredictable, potentially causing both metabolic stress and energy crashes. Choosing low-sugar mixers, such as soda water or tonic with no added sugar, can help maintain steadier glucose levels.
Although Inchauspe’s advice focuses on moderation, she also cautions against the misconception that certain alcoholic beverages are “healthy.” “There’s no such thing as a healthy alcohol,” she’s previously stated. “But there are smarter choices.”
Moderation Remains Key
Medical professionals and nutritionists often emphasize that moderate consumption remains the safest approach.
For most adults, this means up to one drink per day for women and two for men — though even these limits can vary depending on factors such as age, weight, and overall health.
Experts note that individuals managing diabetes, fatty liver disease, or insulin resistance should be especially cautious and consult healthcare providers before consuming alcohol.
Final Thoughts from TheTrendingPeople.com
While Jessie Inchauspe’s “Glucose Goddess” framework simplifies the science of blood sugar management for the public, her latest alcohol-related advice serves as a reminder that what you mix with your drink matters as much as the drink itself.
For those looking to maintain stable glucose levels, the message is clear: skip the sugary cocktails, drink mindfully, and give your liver a break.
