i.e., is the flavoring sugar-based?

In most of the flavored vodkas, there is in fact some sugar.

Single malt scotch is awesome (NO it does NOT have carbs as DON'T vodka,
gin, rum, bourbon, etc generally)
Malt can be made low carb through the judicious use of yeast.
Low carb beer? Uh...yeah.
Read the books.
You can have more than eggs for breakfast.
Yes calories do count.
Ketosticks are not neccessary to lose weight.

Flvored vodkas are infused with flavor during the distillation process, just
as flavorings are added to gin. There is no sugar in these vodkas.

Good point, I should have been more specific. It does depend on the
vodka. The example that comes to mind for me of a flavored vodka with
alot of sugar is Feigling.

The vanilla flavor is very sticky.  We had a little spill from a
gathering we hosted, and the next day the vanilla vodka resembled dried
full sugared pop .  The orange flavor wasn't sticky.

Alcohol is metabolized and turns into sugar in the bloostream - at
least that's my understanding. So, although all these alcohols are
labeled ) carbs, they're just sugar to your body, sorry to say. If
it's alcohol I want, I'll treat myself to a glass of red wine, which
at least has been shown to have other benefits.

If you could prove that alcohol is metabolized into sugar in the
bloodstream, you'd probably win a Nobel Prize for most absurd chemical
reaction theory ever.

Sugar is converted to alcohol through the process known as fermentation.
This chemical reaction does not work both ways. Find a chemistry book.

And wine? You mean the stuff with sulfites and histamines in it? That stuff?
