Ethyl Alcohol
Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows the effect of consuming 1.6 dropper fulls of ethyl alcohol per day?
A homeopathist prescribed 8 dropper fulls of remedies, each with 20% ethyl alcohol content. That makes 1.6 dropper fulls of pure ethyl alcohol per day.
I believe one dropper full is about 20 drops, or 1 milliter, or 1/5 of a fluid ounce.
So, 1.6 droppers = 1.6 * 1/5 = .32 ounces
If we use the conversion for water of 28 grams per fluid ounce, then 1.6 droppers = .32 * 28 = 9 grams of carbs.
So, here's my questions:
1) Are my assumptions and math right?
2) Would burning off/evaporating the ethyl alcohol eliminate the cabrs?
3) Do we think that these extra 9 grams could be why I'm not losing weight (I'm really doing everything else right)?
Thanks very much,
Joseph
