sugar alcohols in those sugar free foods

[Sub-Zero]

in those sugar free health foods, there is sugar alcohols becoming popular as the sweetener in them...i know they have calories in them, but are they the same as alcohols found in beers and liquors that dehydrate you and make you drunk and slow protein synthesis or are they different.

can you get drunk off protein bars with this theoretically? i still try not to eat them, but when theres nothing else or im really on the go, (maybe like once a week tops) ill grab one of these bars, and just wanna know more about what im putting in my body..

the only 3 things that come to mind regarding sugar alcohols:

1. some people do not tolerate them well (digestively speaking)

2. although they have calories and such, whatever insulin response they trigger is significantly less than traditional sweeteners.

3. they cause AIDS.
