Sorry Bro....there are lots of carbs in beer and wine. Your notion of “empty calories” must refer to the relative absence of proteins, fatty acids, minerals and trace metals.

No bro, there are no carbs in beer, just calories. big difference.

Wines may have sugars in them, but not beer. All the sugars in beer are converted to alcohol when it's fermented. Wines on the other hand, does not always ferment all the sugars out, hence sweet wines, dry wines.
Hard liquor has no sugars in them either. (unless you put mix in)

I shouldn’t say NO carbs in beer. But as far as carbs go, there are only 2.5-5g carbs in a regular American beer.

As far as carbs go, that’s next to nothing. In fact, Non alcohol beers have 11-15g carbs.

I had to look it up to prove I was right, that diabetics can drink beers and liquor. Some people seem to think we can’t.

Other than the normal excessive alcohol intake problems that apply to everyone, there is no problem with alcohol and diabetes. The carbs are minimal.
