Dunno about this.


"For example, Carol C is grossly misinformed about how alcohol metabolizes in the body. Alcohol is converted to acetate by the liver, which the body then burns instead of glucose, or if you're on Atkins, fat. Alcohol DOES NOT convert to carbs, which is why I've lost nearly 25 pounds and still regularly enjoy scotch and sodas and martinis"

Alcohol is addictive. 7 percent of the population suffers from
alcoholism. It supplies 7 percent empty calories per gram which in some cases can lead to obesity. Other adverse affects are:
1. high tryglicerides.
2. liver diease
3. cancer
4. birth defects (pregnant women)
5. multiple vitamin deficiencies
6. scurvy from lack of vitamin C
7. night blindness from lack of vitamin A
8. pellagra from lack of niacin B-1
Wenicke-Korsakoff Syndrom and other nervous system diseases
