[QUOTE="Gryph, post: 2288924, member: 508032"] Spirits at 40%+ - vodka, gin (although watch out for liquor versions with sugar), brandy, bourbon, whisky, etc are all no carb. Liquors - like sambuca, cointreau, etc are full of sugar and therefore carbs Champagne, cremant, red and white wine in general are all low carb - watch out for prosecco as it can often have added sugar. Can't comment on Cava, as I'm not a fan. Ale/beer/lager - high carb, unless stated as a "light/lite" lager. Bud Light and Coors Light are lower carb, but still fairly high - Michelob Ultra Light and Skinny Lager are some of the lowest carb lagers... Skinny coming in at 3g carbs per 330ml at 4.0% Best bet - get a meter and test, try a few of the above, and test, see how you react. Don't forget the lowering of inhibitions and possible side effect of scoffing a pizza or kebab and chips by accident :) [/QUOTE]
