Are You Falling for These Alcohol Myths?
In Singapore’s buzzing alcohol culture, myths often masquerade as facts. From assumptions about how alcohol affects the body to false comparisons between whisky, gin, and beer, it’s time to set the record straight.
In this myth-busting guide, we’ll explore some of the most common misconceptions around your favourite spirits—and what science or brewing experts actually say.
💥 1. Myth: Dark Alcohol is Always Stronger
Truth: The color of alcohol comes from how it’s aged or filtered—not the alcohol content. A dark whisky might look intense but can have the same ABV as a clear vodka.
✅ Try This Unique Drink Comparison:
-
First up: Jack Daniel's Fire (Neat Pour)
-
A bold, cinnamon-spiced whiskey
-
Delivers smooth heat with sweet undertones
-
Ideally served neat to savor its full intensity
-
-
On the other hand: Wild Forest Gin (Clear Pour)
-
Brings delicate floral and botanical notes
-
Offers a crisp, refreshing profile
-
Perfect for sipping or pairing with light mixers
-
💥 2. Myth: Beer Causes a “Beer Belly”
Truth: It’s not just the beer. Consuming more calories than you burn—alcoholic or not—leads to weight gain. The key is moderation and balance.
✅ Better Option for Lighter Sipping
-
To start with, opt for light beers
-
They’re lower in calories and alcohol content
-
Great for relaxed, all-day sipping without the heaviness
-
-
Furthermore, consider wheat beers like Hoegaarden
-
They offer a smooth, slightly citrusy flavor
-
Refreshing and easy to drink, especially in warmer weather
-
A flavorful choice that doesn’t weigh you down
-
-
As a result, you get the best of both worlds
-
Taste and refreshment, with fewer calories
-
💥 3. Myth: Mixing Alcohol Types Makes You Sicker
Truth: Mixing doesn’t inherently cause hangovers. It’s the total alcohol volume and your hydration levels that matter more. Still, mixing may affect how quickly you consume drinks.
✅ Tip: Drink water between rounds, and know your limit.
💥 4. Myth: Gin is Just Flavored Vodka
Truth: While both are distilled spirits, gin gets its unique profile from botanicals—especially juniper berries—that make it a completely different experience.
✅ Explore: Try Crafter’s Gin to taste how complex and floral gin can be.
💥 5. Myth: Alcohol Warms You Up
Truth: You may feel warmer, but alcohol dilates blood vessels, actually causing you to lose body heat. Not ideal for chilly weather!
✅ Science-backed tip: Stick to spirits for enjoyment, not warmth.
