Whiskey (1 Fl Oz (No Ice)) and Potato Chips (1 Single Serving Bag)

Keep the potato-chip portion small; measure a single serving into a bowl instead of eating from the bag.

Avoid sugary mixers with whiskey; choose water, soda water, or ice, and sip slowly.

Have the drink and chips with a protein- and fiber-rich meal rather than on an empty stomach, such as grilled chicken or fish with lentils and non-starchy vegetables.

Swap some or all chips for a lower-carb crunchy option such as unsalted nuts, seeds, cucumber slices, or celery with hummus.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, to help blunt the rise.

Limit alcohol quantity and monitor your glucose, since alcohol can sometimes cause a delayed drop in glucose, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
