Alcohol of any kind is a carb, a fairly simple one at that.

But there's definitely more volume to a beer, and I'm pretty confident it's carb count is way higher.

There's also other things in beer, while whiskey is nearly all alcohol and water.

Do you have a source to support that statement? Everything I can find, including the American Diabetes Association and Teladoc, says otherwise.

I get that your body processes alcohol similar to fructose, but that doesn't make it a carb.
