Uh, no, not at all. "Sugar alcohol" (which is actually neither) is a non-carb sweetener, maybe that's what you're thinking of? Sugar and alcohol are very different substances. Alcohol
was once some form of sugar, before being fermented, but it's real different from sugar afterward.
And I'm not actually talking about the caloric impact of the alcohol itself (although it has plenty), but more about the simultaneous water-retention/diuretic affect that alcohol has. I don't actually KNOW anything about that beyond my own experience, mind.
