For me it was a double one. I could not drink alcohol unless it was sweet. I would panic if I would have enough whisky but not enough coke. I just couldn't down it - even the finest single malts. One, two glasses at the most. With coke however...

Same for beer: the only beer I could drink was a very sweet type trappist. Also: gin or wodka tasted horrible unless there was fruit juice with it. I was a lousy alcoholic.

The moment I quit the need for sugar became ridiculous. I ended that spiral by controlling my insulin levels, which - after a while - removes the craving for sugar.

It probably explains why I still "crave" sugar from time to time, but don't "crave" alcohol. I'm probably very lucky.
