          It’s typically Alcohol specific, and usually when people are trying to quit. Alcohol and sugar utilize a similar dopamine pathway and alcohol metabolizes into sugar so it can develop into a parallel addiction and metabolic dependency.

        Lots of alcohol plus 4lbs of sugar, ouch.

        Wouldn’t that also potentially mess up the kidneys as well?

          In the long run I’m sure, but most kidney issues are a secondary symptom of cardio vascular disease and diabetes, really anything that elevates your blood pressure a bunch.
