How to drink alcohol and avoid sugar

If you want to drink alcohol and avoid gaining weight it’s a good idea to avoid beer (malt sugar) and sweet drinks (sugar). Wine and pure liquor, such as whisky or brandy, are better choices.
All wines are not equally good: red wines and dry white wines (as well as dry champagne) usually contain the least amount of sugar.

Don't drink anymore.but those were fun times.
Am I right? DietDoctor is this correct?
A reply for the beerlovers would be appreciated :-)
FOR BEER: I tend to agree with fellow beer lovers, if you're going to go beer, go good! Pour it over a glass of ice, and it'll last longer, decreasing your overall consumption. Add a citrus squeeze for summer -- lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange.
WINE: Dry is always better, red or white. Ditto with ice, and lime wedge in red, lemon in white, for summer. Can add a splash of LACROIX too.
Life is too short not to enjoy it -- DRINK UP! :-)
Quality is a good thing. Don't waste money on cheap wine; you'll thank me later.
I'm diabetic and I started ( occasionally) drinking when I was 30 then when I was
36 I found out I was diabetic.
Please let me know. DT
I used the same recipe with a good quality white rum, but I want to try it also with vodka or tequila.
Hubby keeps telling me I should come over to the dark side (drinking red wines), but I’m just not a red drinker. My occasional pinot grigio is fitting the bill for now. The change in wines and the change in coffee (no longer adding sugar), are two major changes for me. Everything else is smooth sailing.
I’m really enjoying LCHF.
Dry Champagne is a good choice. Orange juice would have too much sugar for a low carb diet. Here is a link to our alcohol guide to help you better understand options. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/alcohol
