How much Sugar is there in your drink.

Found this while looking in the local newspaper looking for the increase in diabetic numbers in an area close to me. It shows how much sugar is in some drinks.

Interesting, it certainly illustrates why Stella is kinder to my levels than real ale! 😱 Surprised there is such a difference!

Interesting that one of the comments on the end of the article, rubbishing it, claims that 'Diet' on an alcoholic drink actually means 'suitable for diabetics' because all the sugar has been turned into alcohol.
Dear oh dear...

Very interesting, could explain in a small way why I tend to go low with drinking as I drink larger, when I have a odd drink.

I was thinking there was more sugar in a pint of larger than shown (8g) and over the night, allowed for a greater sugar content. I tend to only have one pint when out, then switch to diet coke.

Compared to being given full fat coke drink instead of the diet coke which I ask for of around 75 grams of sugar per pint which sends me sky high.

I always just worked to:

Pint of Lager/Beer/Ale/Cider = 10g

Wine [Red] = 0g

Spirits - 0g

No sugary mixers obviously, easy peasy.....🙂
