Yes – unfortunately. Candy is sort of a bad thing to be feeding people, but you see these guys craving it. Some of it might be psychological – they want comfort from something sweet. But a lot of alcoholism is hooked up with diabetes. The alcoholic has been filling his blood with sugar from the alcohol for a long time – and he wants more. It’s part of his addiction.

The drug addict – depending on what drug he was taking – might have chronically low blood sugar – and that might explain the craving.

I know that in the famous book – “Under the Influence”, the guy does speak of this craving. You can get cheap used copies off of Amazon – it’s a great read about alcohol and drugs.

Atkins says that to deal with cravings, mix 5 grams of glutamine (an amino acid you can get in powdered form) with cream – and drink that. The fat plus the protein apparently gives your body some relief from these cravings.
