So how did the celebration go, FBG?

I hope one drink didn't lead to too many others and you didn't wake up in a strange bed surrounded by empty fast food containers

I have bacardi with diet pepsi. Sometimes I have 3 or 4 on a weekend night and I still burn ketones just fine. Don't sweat celebrating once in a while. Otherwise, what's the purpose of being so restrictive that you can't live a little?

Are you judging still being in ketosis using the keto sticks?

They register your body having used alcohol as a preferred fuel and spilling acetones into your urine as the same as your body burning fat and spilling one of the three byproducts of this as ketones into your urine.

So the sticks will appear to be registering excess ketones when they are actually registering acetones and so they might be giving you a false idea of your ketosis state.
