I asked my Registered Dietician daughter about this subject. She said some kind of mumbo-jumbo about the Cori cycle vs the Kreb cycle and about controversial theories that alcohol may actually require more calories to digest than it actual provides (making it "negative calories"). Then she told me that distilled alcohol does not contain carbohydrates - maybe this is old news to you but I didn't know that.

So in theory you can drink all the rum you want on the rocks or mixed with diet Coke, Goslings Diet Ginger Beer, Diet Coke, Diet Ocean Spray Cocktail, etc :D
