About this food

Alcoholic beverage belongs to the Beverages category. Most beverages are low in mineral density, but colas with phosphoric acid and sugary drinks are not kidney-friendly - additive phosphorus absorbs at nearly 100%, often alongside a lot of added sugar.

Nutrient insight

Alcoholic beverage's potassium is the top contributor (2% of its limit), so its potassium density deserves attention. In CKD stage 3-4 the kidneys clear potassium less well - control portions, and peeling, slicing or boiling can help.
