Some commercial ciders can contain as many as five teaspoons of sugar per pint, nearly the NHS-recommended daily limit. So, which alcoholic drink has the highest sugar content, and what hidden sweeteners should you be aware of?

According to the World Health Organization, limiting daily free sugar intake to less than 10% of total calories is recommended, a benchmark often exceeded by a single bottle of pressed juice or cider. The amount of sugar in "press" products varies significantly depending on the specific beverage, from natural sugars in fresh juices to added sugars in some hard seltzers.
