This low carb bullshit is getting out of hand. I thought the low carb beer was silly enough, but now we're going to see carb counts on liquor.
Consumers counting carbohydrates and calories may soon see that information on the labels of their favorite rum, scotch and other liquors.

While it's up to the individual company to decide whether to provide such information, Peter Cressy, president of the Distilled Sprits Council, said Friday that he expects consumers to start seeing labels containing carb and calorie information on some liquor products within a couple of months.

"More and more consumers are seeking information about the carbohydrate and caloric content of what they eat and drink," Cressy said. Many of the industry's products, including vodka, tequila, whiskey, bourbon, scotch, gin and rum, contain no carbohydrates, he said.
If anyone is serious about losing weight, why in the hell are they drinking beer, anyway? And anyone drinking vodka, gin, rum or whiskey isn't to concerned with carbs.

I had to quit eating bread, but I switched to black-tar heroin. It's 100% carb free.
