Responsible Moments.

Drink responsibly.

Cheers Presso is made for the good moments. To keep them good, honest information belongs with it: what alcohol does to your body, what coffee changes about that and what it does not.

What is in a can.

An Espresso Martini is a proper cocktail. You can taste it, and you should count it. All our drinks are 10.3% ABV.

Beer (0.5 l, 5% ABV) and wine (0.2 l, 12% ABV) are reference values: their calories are typical figures and vary by type. Pure alcohol = volume × % ABV × 0.789 g/ml.

No maybes here.

  • Only 18 and over.

    Cheers Presso contains vodka and is for adults aged 18 and over only. Please never pass it on to anyone younger.

  • Never before driving.

    If you drive, you do not drink. In Germany, new drivers on probation and everyone under 21 must stay at 0.0 per mille, and from 0.3 per mille driving can already be a criminal offence.

  • Not when pregnant or breastfeeding.

    Alcohol can harm an unborn child and passes into breast milk. There is no safe amount.

  • Not with medication.

    Alcohol can interact with medication. If you take medication or have health conditions that alcohol can worsen, skip it.

Coffee and alcohol.

Caffeine makes you alert. It does not make you sober. What science and the authorities say about this combination.

Does coffee sober you up?

No. Alcohol is broken down almost entirely by the liver, on average about 0.1 to 0.2 per mille per hour. Coffee, a cold shower or fresh air do not change that: you may feel more alert, but your blood alcohol level does not drop any faster.
Does caffeine mask how much I have drunk?

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concludes that up to 200 mg of caffeine is unlikely to mask the perceived effects of alcohol at moderate consumption. For larger amounts of alcohol, however, this has not been studied systematically. So don’t rely on how you feel, rely on how much you have drunk.
How much caffeine is okay?

For healthy adults, EFSA considers up to 400 mg of caffeine a day and up to 200 mg at once safe. A can of Espresso Martini contains 44 to 94 mg, a cup of filter coffee usually 80 to 120 mg. So count the coffee you have had that day. All values in detail
Why is there an Espresso Martini without caffeine?

Because late evenings and caffeine are not a good combination for your sleep. The Espresso Martini Decaf has 0 mg of caffeine with full coffee flavour. That does not mean it contains less alcohol: the Decaf can also holds around 16 g. More about the Decaf
Can I still drive after an Espresso Martini?

Don’t. From 0.5 per mille, driving is an administrative offence in Germany; with signs of impairment it can be a criminal offence from as little as 0.3 per mille, and for new drivers in their probationary period and everyone under 21 the limit is 0.0 per mille. Think about the next morning too: at one per mille it takes around ten hours for the alcohol to be broken down.

Counted over a week.

The German Nutrition Society is clear in its 2024 position paper on alcohol: there is no risk-free amount, and none at all is best. If you do drink, keep an eye on your week.

  • Below 27 g: low risk
  • 27 to 81 g: moderate risk
  • Above 81 g: high risk

In practice: two cans of Espresso Martini a week already sit in the moderate risk range, and from five cans the high risk range begins. With Cold Brew Fizz that point comes at four cans. Whatever your week looks like, always avoid drinking a lot in one evening.

Keeping the moment good.

  • Water in between.

    Have a glass of water with every drink. It slows the pace and keeps you hydrated.

  • Not on an empty stomach.

    With food in your stomach, alcohol reaches your blood more slowly.

  • Take your time.

    A can is a drink, not a shot. Pour it into a glass and savour it.

  • Plan the way home.

    Train, taxi or someone who stays sober. Decide before the first drink is on the table.

  • Days without alcohol.

    Set fixed days without alcohol so your week stays in view.

  • No is an answer.

    Nobody has to join in. And if you are hosting, always keep something alcohol free in the fridge.
