Harvard notes they may have as much sugar as soft drinks, enough caffeine to raise blood pressure, and additives with uncertain long-term effects, which is why they are best skipped. Here’s a practical top 10 list of drinks that are bad for you ****if your goal is hydration and better overall health****: 1. Energy drinks: Often loaded with sugar and high caffeine, which can stress the body instead of supporting it. 2. Regular soda: One of the biggest sources of added sugar in the diet. A 12-ounce soda can contain about 10 teaspoons of added sugar. 3. Fruit punch and sugary fruit drinks: These can sound healthier than soda, but many are still sugar-sweetened beverages. 4. Sweet tea: Another common sugar-sweetened drink that can add a lot of sugar without offering real hydration benefits. 5. Sports drinks: Helpful only in certain long, intense workouts. For most people, they are just another source of sugar and calories. 6. Fancy coffee drinks: Sweetened lattes, frappes, and blended coffee drinks can be more like dessert than a daily drink. Harvard notes that drinks with lots of added sugar should be limited. 7. Milkshakes and dessert drinks: These are usually high in sugar and calories and are better treated like an occasional dessert. 8. Alcohol: Alcohol does not hydrate well and can work against good hydration habits, especially when it replaces water. Harvard recommends moderation, and not everyone should drink at all. 9. Diet soda: It is usually better than regular soda for sugar, but it is still not a healthy hydration drink. WHO advises against using non-sugar sweeteners as a long-term weight-control strategy. 10. Large smoothies loaded with sweeteners: Smoothies can become very high-calorie and high-sugar depending on what is added. Harvard notes fruit smoothies are often very high in calories and are not recommended as daily beverages.
