By saying that omitting the alcohol makes these Phase 1 friendly, do they mean that you can have alcohol in them in Phase 2? I know that many low carb diets allow other forms of alcohol, but I thought that SBD only allows red wine. Are we also allowed rum and vodka? Confused! Mojitos on the Beach

GFGCG says that Liqueurs (Rum, Gin, Vodka, Whiskey) are "Very Limited" and the only mixed drink listed as allowable is Vodka and Tomato Juice, also listed as "Very Limited". Wonder if that means I could have a gin and diet tonic with lime once a month?
