The deal with alcohol is it's a fuel. When your body switches to ketosis, it will still use alcohol as a fuel. However, if it's burning alcohol, it's not burning fat or protein. So, it's not like it will kill you, but it takes away from the fat burning your body would have been doing otherwise.
What people fail to realize about this diet is that it changes the makeup and processes of your body. Eating a pound of meat normally would result in lots of fat being stored away because the carbs and protein you injest are being burned for fuel. However, in ketosis, you are changing what your body uses for fuel. It will use protein and then burn fat. It doesn't store fat because it's burning it for fuel. Calories still count because your body can only burn so much. Don't do it too long or forget to eat. After you loose all your fat, your body will move on to your organs. It was the basis of man's diet for thousands of years. Back in caveman days, the caveman ate red meat and stayed thin. There weren't enriched flours and refined sugars. The eskimos follow this diet as well. I just love how everyone's a doctor when it comes to this diet..."Oh yeah, real healthy." Get a clue and find out about it. Under normal conditions it would be unhealthy, but if your body is in the proper mode, it's normal and an effective way to burn more fat and loose weight.
Your friend's withdrawal should be a sign. He's hooked on carbs and sugars. It's extremely addictive, probably more so than heroione or other drugs you can name. Should your body really act like that if you miss carbs for a day? I would consider that unhealthy.
