4. I'm diabetic. They make sugar free CANDY but I'll pass out or have

seizures from just one dranka licker.
Where is the new Jim Beam with Nutrasweet?
It just ain't right.

5. You know, I really wonder why somebody hasn't come up with the idea to mass-market

sugar-free liquor - I think it would do really well, personally. :shrug:

6. Well, sugar free aspartame and fat free olestra have probably helped quash the idea...

9. I don't think that all of the problem is with added sugar.

Ethanol turns into blood sugar when the body metabolizes it. At some point it can no longer be metabolized and you become intoxicated. That's why one or two drinks is a pick-me-up and any more starts to bring you down. I could be wrong, but I believe that to be true otherwise diabetics could drink vodka or Everclear.

10. Yeast eats sugar and farts sugary alcohol

or something like that :P

The more sugar when you make wine the higher the alcohol content. This I've proven in the lab often referred to as my bathtub.
