If hard booze has no carbs, then what happens to the pound of suger thats added?

 

[chanmanfoo]

distilled spirits (Gin, Rum, Vodka, Whisky) definitely dont have carbs, i dont know about the sugar though.

Hey Foo...

If u say it doesn't have carbs but yet you don't know about the sugar added you are contradicting yourself my man!!! Any way you look at it simple or complex....CARBOHYDRATES are SUGARS!!!

Sugars are carbohydrates, not the other way around.

There are minimal carbs listed for red wine. However, I don't know what exceptions are made for labeling (there may be hidden carbs like with protein bars); don't forget that alcohol itself is 6.something calories per gram as well.

someone want to tell me how much sugar is in a distilled spirit after its refined.

Yeah but the alcohol has carbs. So you look at the label of a low carb beer and you see something like:

0 Protein grams
2 carb grams
0 fat grams

100 calories

Where did the other 23 grams that arn't listed come from? The alcohol. Are those carbs? I don't know, but, its not protein or fat so it might as well be....

The labeling is a scam IMO....

Alcohol is not a carb. It has its own caloric value around 7 (with carbs and proteins at 4 and fats at 9). The sugars used to make distilled spirits, like dextrose in beer, are converted by yeast from sugars to alcohol. Thus most distilled spirits (ie gin, vodka etc) have 0 carbs, but still have calories from alcohol. Wine does have some carbs however, as does most beer.
