Funny that you split the hair on the caramel colouring in the fermented, distilled sugar.

The fermenting process gets rid of almost all of the sugar.

Yeah, I used the past tense up there. It also wouldn't be added sugar if it was there from the start, it would be remaining sugar.

But ethanol probably isn't a whole lot better as excess calories than sugars are.

By turning it into alcohol, at only about 20 % loss of caloric content (if my math is correct).
