why is there sugar in sweet wine? well, it wouldn't be called sweet if there
weren't...
if u stick to dry wine or cider there will be no blood sugar problems. in
fact, it helps keep it stable in reasonable quantities.
if u drink a barrel full, you can get hypoglycemic since the alcohol
metabolism stops the liver from releasing glucose as it would nromally do
periodically. then you fall down dead drunk. its a hypoglycemic attack
rather than the alcohol per se. eat while you drink like the spanish do,
high protein foods, and there will be no problems. I have experimented
extensively with all these parameters.
