I could be killing myself

And I don't mean to. My brother Mark introduced me to Hard Lemonade from Sand Creek Brewery. It's a fruit beer that is DE-LISH-US. I love the taste, the fizz, the slight buzz. But I've also been having some really bizarre episodes...like the dumping one I wrote about earlier in the month. That happened again this weekend.

So I did a little searching. And while I can't come up with exact nutrition facts for this particular hard lemonade, I did find some for Mike's Hard Lemonade. That has more than 30g of sugar in a 12 ounce bottle. Good god, that could kill me! And I've been drinking two or more bottles!

I have to have my blood work done for my follow up. Not only will it show that I'm still intoxicated, it will probably show that I'm spiking blood sugar. I only hope my A1C is AOK.

I wrote to Sand Creek to see if they'll divulge nutritional info, but I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, I'm laying off the lemonade liquor. I don't particularly relish the dumping. It just tastes so damn good going down!

UPDATE
I AM killing myself! I got a really quick reply from the general manager and co-owner of Sand Creek Brewing. According to his information and my calculations, each bottle has about 32 grams of sugar carbs. That's more than I consume in most days...all in ONE sitting. No wonder I'm sick to my stomach and out of my mind when I drink two or three. I'm lucky I'm not comatose.

Now, this doesn't change how much I LOVE this drink. And anyone who doesn't have sugar intolerances should DRINK UP. But those of you who do, consume with caution. Sip. Savor. Have a protein shake nearby for when the shakes start.
