This isn't a "no-s" rule. It's an auxiliary rule I
call "glass ceiling." Its primary purpose is not
weight control but alcohol control. Moderate
quantities of alcohol are supposed to be ridiculously
good for you, anything more, ridiculously bad. Yes,
alcoholic drinks are caloric, but if you drink to the
point where that makes much of a difference you've
probably got a more serious problem than weight
control.

Jeanette's question was about drinks which are *both*
alcoholic and extremely sugary. From a no-s
standpoint, the alcohol shouldn't even enter into it
here: they're sugar drinks. Alcohol shouldn't grant
them special immunity (or we'd start pouring it over
everything).
