Plainfield, IL (WFN) -- Despite what you read in Dr. Atkins' diet books, alcoholic beverages aren't necessarily diet-killers. That's the word from Illinois-based brewer Bob Skilnik, who lost 80 pounds using a low carb diet that included moderate amounts of booze. He's just written a book, "The Low Carb Bartender" (Adams Media Corp) which contains carbohydrate counts for 1000 beers, 400 wines and 60 spirits. Skilnik says many low carb dieters think they can't drink liquors like rum, whiskey or vodka because they're distilled from high carb foods like sugarcane, corn and potatoes -- but the truth is that all spirits are virtually carbohydrate-free. However, mixers like soda and tonic water are not, which is why Skilnik recommends using diet versions when playing low carb bartender.
