Sue,

I'm still off the beer, but back on red wine and whisky.

Can you tell me if a brand of bottled beer called Desperados is in your book? It's a lager beer laced with Tequilla.

Hi harryd,

I think that you'll find wine or spirits are the most suitable alcoholic drinks carbohydrate-wise.

It's the odd glass or two of red wine these days for me because from what I read that has health-protective benefits too other than the lower carbohydrate content. However, I've changed from being an heavy drinker to drinking very little and I must say that I feel better for it.

Best wishes - John

if you are talking about the bottled/canned variety ,It's quite popular amongst some of the young here.
In my search I found I mayor who wanted it banned from his town and another person asking why on earth it was allowed to be called beer.
I couldn't find the carbs but the ingredients suggest its high in carbs, I also found it on a list of the sweetest beers with a score of 8/10, (for comparison Fosters was 7/10
I've posted the ingredients, I won't translate as it seems fairly obvious
