How much sugar does whiskey have in it per drink?

Whiskey, by itself, does not contain any sugar.

Here's why:

* Whiskey is a distilled beverage: This means that it's made by fermenting grains (like barley, corn, rye, or wheat) and then distilling the resulting wash. Distillation removes most of the water and sugars, leaving behind a concentrated alcohol solution.

* Sugar is fermented: During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Therefore, any sugar present in the original grain mash is consumed during the fermentation process.

However, some whiskey drinks may contain added sugar:

* Cocktails: Many whiskey-based cocktails, such as a Whiskey Sour or a Manhattan, use sweeteners like simple syrup or sugar to balance the flavors.

* Flavored whiskies: Some whiskey producers add flavors to their products, which may include sweeteners like caramel or honey.

To know the sugar content of a specific whiskey drink, you'll need to check the ingredients list or contact the producer.

Important note: While whiskey itself doesn't have sugar, it's still important to consume it in moderation due to its high alcohol content.
