Humans cannot convert ethanol to sugar. We can only convert it to acetyl-CoA, which is then incorporated into the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Ethanol (CH2-CH2-OH) is composed of two carbons. In the TCA cycle, two carbons are put in and two are put out, leaving no room for gluconeogenesis. Alcohol does help put people to sleep and may cause them to wake up. This is not due to the alcohol being converted into sugar - it's due to things such as disrupted sleep cycles and induced sleep apnea. Also, it's bad to generalize a macronutrient. Saying carbs are good is like saying fat is bad. SOME carbs are good and SOME fats are bad. However, the exact opposite is true for other sources. Good sources of complex carbohydrates, such as oats, brown rice, quinoa, beans, veggies, fruits, etc, are beneficial for the body. However, if someone gets their carbs from brownies and milkshakes - the situation changes. In essence, you should be stating that a healthy overall diet is much more beneficial than increasing any one macronutrient. Most of these are good, but let me elaborate on something.

Caffeine is a drug not a food, and many companies use it for this very reason - people become dependant on their products. If you consume caffeine all the time it does not work as tolerance develops. Try having a large dose once in a while and you'll feel the benefits, bearing in mind it's temporary! It's very very addictive and most people are so accustomed to it's use they do not even know it's the cause of their exhaustion, and think it doesn't work! Use caffeine no more than once a week, and prepare for a comedown! Yes very good,
