I've heard (I don't have any sources) that alcohol basically turns to sugar in the body.

Also, if you have an alcoholic (particularly a parent)in your genetics you are predisposed to that. And more often people are turning to carbs/sugar to fill that craving, because it's more culturally acceptable.

As well, lots of people use carbs/sugar as a mood enhancer to escape depression and/or anxiety. (This is my biggest issue with sugar intake).

Those are just my gathered information on sugar and alcohol and anxiety.
