Gotta say … feeling pretty gaad damn lucky right now …

What am I having instead of a cider or beer at dinner? Yep you got it.

After researching some other sources, I would not characterize red wine, even a dry one, as zero-carb, but rather low-carb, and some are very definitely better than others. And dry white as even lower. And brut champagne lowest of all, until we get to …

… raw spirits (especially tequila, vodka, and gin). Ounce for ounce, however, they are very caloric, and if they’re mixed into a cocktail then all bets are off. To counterbalance, there is such a thing as a virtually carb-free gin, and (lightened) tonic. For example.

I’ll take it.

Another video by a real doctor says people who are in ketosis get drunker faster (it has something to do with how much glycogen you have stored; pretty interesting really). So drinking only a little has very little downside beyond the excess calories, if, of course, drinking doesn’t set you off in any kind of addiction spiral.

Right now that’s making me wonder if there’s a correlation between the lightweights in the booze sense, and the lightweights I know who seem naturally blessed with skinny genes.

Are they already fat-burners? Mildly inebriated minds want to know.
