What’s your glucose level? if you are blacking out, it isn’t from “sugar in beer or alcohol, because there is none.

There are no carbohydrates in beer or alcohol, there are empty calories, yes. but NOT carbs.

You may have very very low glucose levles in your blood, ehich would cause you to black out even after drinking a half a beer. That’s because your body needs glucose to break down the alcohol. If you are hypo hypoglycemic, (Low sugar) you will pass out, and could even go into a coma!

No, the bartender put sugar in the sangria I was drinking.

Unfortunately it will probably be a few months until I can afford a blood test.
