Question: From New Delhi, India: What is the sugar content in different kinds of alcohol? Which kind of alcohol has the lowest sugar content in it? Answer: That's a good question. Here is a breakdown of the carb content of various alcoholic beverages:    BEVERAGE       AMOUNT       CARB CONTENT    regular beer 12 ounces 11-15 grams 80 proof liquor 0.5 ounces 0 grams liqueur 1.5 ounces 10-25 grams dry white wine 4 ounces 1-2 grams sweet wine 4 ounces 7 grams wine cooler 12 ounces 12-17 grams bloody mary 5 ounces 5 grams dry martini 2.5 ounces 2 grams A cautionary reminder: the American Diabetes Association recommends no more than one drink per day for women and no more than two drinks per day for men. A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 4 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of a hard liquor. Check blood sugars before drinking as well as after drinking and combine food with alcohol as it can cause hypoglycemia.
