Lactic acidosis comes from too much alcohol consumption, and too much frequent drinking can lead to a dramatic lack of muscle performance from this
Two weeks of dry-out fixes it tho
but see…I do
we have people buying intentionally flat alcoholic seltzers called “Mom Water” so your idea (if we’re being honest) is prob already on the shelf somewhere
Hmmm just from the ethanol you're starting at about 60 calories; if that 100 cal limit is a hard requirement, you're gonna have to keep it to no more than 10g protein, sadly
15 g of protein = 60 cal
40 cal of alcohol = 7 g Et-OH, = 0.214 US fl. oz Et-OH
so at 5% ABV, your drink will be 4.28 oz (assuming the protein is fully miscible and does not add to the volume)
not hugely refreshing, sorry.
Sorry, that should be 5 g of alcohol
A 12 fluid oz seltzer containing _only_ pure alcohol at 5% ABV will have 98 calories, which is basically diluted and carbonated vodka. So you've already invented the drink, if you want to forgo the protein.
