Although some hard liquors, such as Scotch whiskey, gin, and vodka, are made with high-carbohydrate ingredients, they do not appear in the index. These liquors contain things like sugar, potatoes, and grains, which are high in carbs, but the final product is carb-free, isn’t that confusing? But I know this to be true because of the fermentation and distillation process of these spirits.
Now when you talk about wine, most of the sugar found in their grapes is converted to alcohol during the winemaking process.

When it comes to wine, there will still be a small amount of sugar left in the final product. And now about the beer; Your beer is fermented during the brewing process, the maltose (which is sugar) that is in the beer is consumed by the yeast and converted to alcohol. But there remains a small amount of carbohydrates of about three grams per hundred millimeters; this is a fraction of the amount of carbohydrates contained in equal servings of their soft drinks.

Keep this in mind that although alcoholic beverages are virtually carbohydrate-free, they are all very high in calories. Alcohol alone has seven calories per gram. This is higher than the amount found in protein and carbohydrates and almost as much as found in fat. And for God’s sake, diabetics shouldn’t be fooled by its low carb content, because they risk low blood sugar every time they drink alcohol.

What does this all mean? Well, it is very likely that excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages will make you gain weight. And we’ve all heard and probably seen what it will do to someone’s liver, maybe even yours? As always, you have to live well to be well.
