I have not had a drink since New Years, so no problem here with that at all. I read about the challenge and wanted to share what I found on carbs for drinks:
Beer
12-ounce regular beer: 13g carb, 150 cal
12-ounce light beer: 5g carb, 100 cal
Wine/Champagne
6-ounce white wine: 1.4g carb, 120 cal
6-ounce red wine: 3g carb, 128 cal
6-ounce rose' wine: 2.5g carb, 128 cal
6-ounce sweet dessert wine: 21g carb, 270 cal
