I have been snooping around the internet and have found that distilled spirits aren't really as bad as I thought they were. Other than being high in calories and a diuretic, they don't spike insulin. They have little effect on blood sugar levels. One study showed that among female twins, body fat actually decreases with increasing alcohol consumption. Am I reading this stuff right?
