It is true that some kinds of Alcoholic Beverages ( rum, vodka, gin, whisky) have no carbohydrate content, Alcohol is still not allowed on induction because when alcohol is available to the body it burn that alcohol first as fuel. And what we want on induction is to get the body going with burning fat for fuel. Also, when the body burns alcohol, it gives off ketones, which will show up on the test sticks that dieters use to see if they are in ketosis. A false reading can occur due to the ketones in the alcohol - false in the sense that it can lull one into thinking they are still burning fat, when actually their alcohol consumption has pushed them out of fat-burning ketosis.
