Can whiskey turn into sugar in blood stream?

* Whiskey is primarily alcohol (ethanol). Alcohol is metabolized differently than carbohydrates (like sugar).

* Alcohol metabolism bypasses the traditional sugar breakdown process. Instead, the liver converts alcohol into acetaldehyde and then into acetate. These are not sugars.

* Alcohol can indirectly affect blood sugar. While not turning into sugar itself, alcohol can interfere with the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. This is why people with diabetes should be cautious about alcohol consumption.

In summary, whiskey does not transform into sugar in your bloodstream. However, it can have indirect effects on blood sugar levels.
