Correct. But it doesn't matter which type of liquor you quaff down it's totally sugar free after it changes to alcohol. Alcohol gets a bad rap. It's only unhealthy when abused by those with less than good working livers. That's why some people can be drunkards for 40 or more years before they develop fatty liver syndrome, leading to scarring and ultimately the dreaded cirrhosis....and then it's their ass.
For those who are going to be heavy drinkers there are a few things you can do to lighten the load: drink cocktails with a safe mixer, not shots. The worst possible mixer is any soda or juice made with high fructose corn syrup. That shit is actually worse for the immune system than the booze. Drink light beer, not for less calories, but for less carbs that your liver must convert along with the alcohol load.
When you get the buzz on your second or third drink, make your next drink water or anything nearly clear and unsweetened. I can't stand cranberry juice, which is the best possible option, but green tea may be as good. Drink at the same rate as the booze, don't guzzle it down. One casual glass of water will give your liver a respite and you will maintain your buzz and also prevent dehydration the next morning. (a serious body blow to the system) Do this and you can drink much longer without getting shitfaced, while staying high.
The safest liquors are white rum and vodka. The worst are the ones with the most flavor like whiskies and gin, and of course liqueurs. It's the congeners, or impurities you want less of. You already know that red wine has benefits, but dry white's are pretty good too. Packed with antioxidants to boost the immune system. (like the cranberry, or ANY small berry)
Most men know more about cars than they do their own body. I thought I knew a lot before I got sick. All I really knew were the basics. I'll tell you the ultimate trick to be a heavy drinker for life with no ill effects: every 2 or 3 years stop drinking for 2 months. That's how long it takes your liver to replace every old cell. A new, high functioning gizzard every 2 months!
