on a low carb diet... can i drink bacardi or other alcohol?

[Phokus]

I'm in the induction phase of the atkins diet right now. I'm going to a party this week and they are going to have bacardi + diet coke. Is that acceptable? The host says there's no carbs... or is all alcohol out of the question?

alcohol = full of empty calories. think about it? maybe google it?

Alcohol is not carbohydrates... Unless your body is flex fuel capable and can run on E85. Go ahead and drink the damn Bacardi and Diet Coke.

Right on that page Bacardi is listed as having 0g carbs.
