3. Carb concern gone overboard?

I'm not being snarky--but if you're watching your carbs everywhere else, does it make that much of a difference if you have a regular Coke, or a beer?

Drinking isn't good for you to do too much anyway--the carb count is like, the least of the health issues!

To answer your question though, vodka, gin, and tequila have no carbs. But you have to watch what you mix them with.

4. Vodka has no carbs

try a vodka and diet tonic water - 0 carbs.

5. Alchohol triggers production of insulin

while certain drinks don't have carbs, they'll cost you in insulin production.

Remember, it's not the number of carbs, it's staying in ketosis, that's why you have to avoid hydrogenated oils as well...

6. Give up the booze

it's poison. Notice the word 'inTOXICated'.
