7. I doubt it fully solves the calories problem
Granted, you don't consume the unfermented carbs with the active ingredient. But you still have ethanol in your bloodstream, and some of that will be metabolized-- you don't exhale or pee all of it out.

3. Yes, it is!
It's cheating in a more attractive package, but it's still consuming alchohol.
