Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They need to go the other way. More drinks in pouches. Cocktails for adults.
Fine by me!...As long as whoever at Pepsi made the decision to only release Hard Mt Dew in "Zero sugar" versions is nowhere near it
That can't be possible, glucose is required for fermentation to make the ethanol or it couldn't be alcoholic. It's the only reason college students could keep on weight where I was from.
I wonder if it is all some marketing scheme where they are saying zero sugar because there is "no added sugar". Basically making the non flavored malt alcohol, then flavoring it and adding artificial sweetener to get the sweetness.
Otherwise if we could ferment and make alcohol without sugars, many people would start drinking 0 calories alcoholic beverages, as drinking 10 beers gives you about 1200 calories (bud light, miller light whatever shitty beers are around 120 calories a piece). Alcoholics would save 2lbs of weight gain a week there.
It's probably all marketing, anything branded "Zero sugar" still has that ass tasting sugar substitute aspartame in it
Yeah thinking back my sentence wasnt right anyways, doesn't have to be glucose, could use fructose or sucrose, but they all have calories.
That annoyed me to no end. I have to wonder about the big push in artificial sweeteners recently; are they cheaper than corn syrup now? Are there enough people who are trying to cut back on sugar but also actually like the taste of dissolved copper in their drinks to keep soda profits high?
