I love to drink. But I bought the first Atkins book... the one from 72.... and before he "sold out" to a larger audience, Atkins wrote that one ounce of hard liquor converts to 17 grams of carbs! So no carbs.... TECHNICALLY! So I quit drinking!
I've never heard of that 17 carb conversion thing - Hard liquors have zero carbs because the distilling process leaves nothing but ethyl alcohol. Your body does burn it first before fat though which is why they say to avoid it. So you're good, he he!
um.. I am drinking to that.. cheers
