4 lbs... Seriously how?... I can hardly get through 1oz. It's too much sugar.

I believe he has some substance abuse issues with alcohol. A lot of alcoholics can get some wires crossed when it comes to sugary foods.

Yeah that’s why one of my relatives had to switch to Diet Coke when starting AA

Is that a alcoholic specific thing or a addiction general thing? Such as people with predispositions for addictive behavior?

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 5 points 23 hours ago

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.
