All Alcoholic Beverages contain ethanol, which is metabolized by the body but does not directly convert to sugar. However, some alcoholic drinks, particularly those that are distilled like vodka, gin, and whiskey, contain little to no carbohydrates or sugars, resulting in negligible sugar impact. In contrast, sweet wines and liqueurs typically have higher sugar content. Therefore, while ethanol itself doesn't convert to sugar, the carbohydrate content of specific beverages can influence blood sugar levels.

Does the body convert alchol into sugar once it is digested?
