Thanks very much for the info.

I do indeed have my doubts about homeopathy.

I've got a problem with my liver, however, that MD's can't seem to fix -- or even ID, for that matter, so I've got little to lose except some time and money.

But, it's important to me to lose weight -- in great part because there's a good chance my liver will get better solely from that.

There's much talk, however, on these forums that sugar alcohol, which is what I believe you're referring to when you write that ethyl alcohol has carbs, but not the kind that affect blood sugar levels, does indeed stall weight loss.

If that's the case, then that's enough reason for me to stop.

Unless I can simmer/evaporate these carbs away.

Possible?

Thanks very much,

Joseph

PS -- rum might help in other ways (;-)
