Where do I find a web site that gives sugar levels in achohol?

Answer 1

Alcohol has little to no effect in raising glucose levels. The carbs in alcohol can raise your glucose levels but pure alcohol, like whiskey, has NO carbs and unless mixed with something that does, like coke or juice, will not raise your glucose levels. Very little...if any ALCOHOL is converted to glucose! The greatest danger in alcohol consumption is for those who are taking insulin or oral medications that lower glucose levels, and that risk is LOW blood sugar, not HIGH blood sugar. Normally if blood sugar starts to drop past a certain point (usually below 70mg/dl) the pancreas releases glucagon that stimulates the liver to release glycogen which is converted to glucose. When drinking alcohol is too busy dealing with the alcohol and doesn't release glycogen. Unless carbohydrates are consumed glucose levels can drop very fast. It's also important to remember that glucagon emergency shots will not work to raise glucose levels because, again, the liver needs to release glycogen, and it won't while it's metabolizing alcohol. Even people who are not diabetic and taking medications like insulin can experience low blood sugar when drinking alcohol, especially if they've not eaten in a while. Here's a list of some of the carb content in different alcohols...
Beer, regular (12 fl oz) 13g
Beer, light (12 fl oz) 4.5g
Wine, red (3.5 fl oz) 1.75g
Wine, rose (3.5 fl oz) 1.5
Wine, white (3.5 fl oz) 1g
Cider, dry (1 pint) 15g
Gin, Rum, Vodka, Whisky (1 fl oz) 0g
Sherry (2 fl oz) 3g
Port (2 fl oz) 6g
Guinness (1/2 pint) 4g
