About this food
How to think about Beverages: Alcoholic beverage is worth a closer look - 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 (4% 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.

Practical tips
Practical tip: Avoid colas with phosphoric acid additives; choose water, black coffee or tea as low-risk options.
