THAT's the sugar kicking in.

Wakes me up every time. Then I'm like... "great. What am I gonna do NOW?"

I suspect it's more a case of sobering up, and not sugar. The normal metabolism of ethanol does not appear to yield any sugars at any point (but I am not an expert).

There's quite a bit of evidence that suggests there's no such thing as a sugar rush in any case; but I know from experience that very few people will ever believe that.
