I'm just a little unwell.

[cyrano]

Feeling seriously crapulous. Tired. Head throbbing. Throat raw and not at all happy. I am in a world of mucous. Not doing anything except enjoying the lovely dinner my wonderful housemate made me. But then this advert came on and I just have to ask.

A Bacardi ad claims that Bacardi and Diet Coke, as a mixed drink, has no carbs and no sugar (by neccessity, since sugar is a simple carbohydrate) and only has 66 calories.
Um. So with no carbohydrates, does that mean the 66 calories are all fat and protein? Or is this one of those weird definitions of 'carbohydrates' that I was previously unaware of?

well... as far as net carbs go, alcohol doesn't fit under the definition of carbs, hence why all those tasty bars have the sugar alcohol in them. :)

At least thats how I understood it when I was on that atkins thing. Though they did recommend staying away from the alcoholic beverages for the most part anyway.

as for your being sick, I'm sorry... I have the same thing... I have had it for the past week and a half... I hope you get better soon!
