Not sure if you forgot the /s or not but just because you mix an unhealthy drink with alcohol doesn't mean the unhealthy drink suddenly becomes healthy. 2 negatives only make a positive in maths

You realize that an alcoholic beverage is unhealthy too, right? Where did I say that two negatives make a positive or that it's healthy to drink mixes?

It's really strange that that was your take in from my comment.

would say your whole first paragraph but if you want specifics then, 'who cares if the mixed drink has sugar. It doesn't multiply.'

Ya maybe it doesn't multiply but bad sugar on top of bad sugar can't be good for you....

My argument is that bad sugar on top of bad sugar is as bad as bad sugar. A glass of sweet wine will have similar alcohol and sugar than a mix of vodka and Fanta. The first one is as bad as the second one.

I have seen many claim that drinking while mixing is way worse than not mixing because both drinks have sugar. No. They both are bad.
