Interesting......you have inspired me to read up some more on this, so I did.  I was always under the impression that the synthesis of hard liquors (typically derived from a mash comprised predominantly of sugar, no matter the type), resulted in the body turning the alcohol back into the sugars it was derived from.  It appears I was misled.  Even beer with it carb content isn't THAT bad for you, because the alcohol content kinda levels everything out.  Actually, the MAIN danger with alcohol consumption is hypoglycemia, so some panelists recommend eating some starches while drinking to diminish that risk......thanks for the input that nudged me toward further research, I learned today.
