Do "sugarphobes" also avoid drinking any alcohol?

Most of the people I know that actively seek out gluten free alcohols do so because they can't tolerate the gluten even in alcohols. The rest, well, it depends on what they're getting. Things like wine and sherry are often used for cooking, where being organic may make a difference in the resulting flavor profile.0 -
I make exceptions for "clean" ice cream and homebaked goods

ethanol is metabolized like a 2 carbon fat though...
^This. It's still not the same as a sugar. I don't touch the stuff (alcohol) personally. I did have some tasty strawberry fluff lastnight coated with Hershey's chocolate syrup.
Man that was good.0 -

I go back one step further. Sugar is highly processed CO2 and H20. I stick just to water and breathing, all natural!0

so if i understand this correctly, if you eat sugar, it's bad.
if yeast pre-eats your sugars and poops out ethanol, it's good.
so eating (drinking) yeast poop (aka ethanol) is good.0 -

Haha, I did notice that, and when I pointed it out, was thought to be crazy or something. $2-3 more a bottle, less alcohol content. I can water down my own vodka, TYVM.0 -

it's more like yeast wee than yeast poo. Poo is just undigested food that's left the body, (i.e. egestion), whereas wee contains the waste products of metabolic processes in the body (excretion). So ethanol is yeast wee.0 -

It is a molecule of sugar shaped in a circle.

all kinds of sugar, just the highly processed kind with no other nutritional value.
You know sugar is considered a "nutritive sweetener" (as opposed to non-nutritive sweeteners like aspartame)?
Yeah, it turns out that sugar is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are macronutrients.
Macronutrient.
Sugar is inherently nutritive, as it provides calories.
That's why I said "no OTHER nutritional value" instead of "no nutritional value" ... if you want to pick nits, at least be accurate in your assessment of my statement. (EDITED TO ADD FOR CLARITY: If I ingest sugar, I try to make sure it has OTHER nutritional value in addition to its energy provision. Examples: calcium, protein, fiber, minerals, vitamins ... which is why I make exceptions for "clean" ice cream and homebaked goods.) As I said, it's a personal priority. We all have ours. Isn't that the point? To prioritize and choose wisely?)
so Ben & Jerry's does not have calcium and protein? do the oatmeal raisin cookies from Subway not have fiber? you have not chosen "wisely", you have chosen based on the way you label foods as good and bad or healthy and unhealthy. there's a difference.0 -

so drinking from a bottle of booze is like having a colony of yeast wizzing in your mouth! :drinker:0 -
Do paleo people realize there is sugar in fruit?
Or that paleo is kind of a scam, because unless they go into the forest and forage and kill all their food then they are reaping the benefits of our agricultural society and not doing anything that can ever be described as paleo (not that there really is a definition since they ate what they found).0 -
Why do you care what other people eat or drink?0
