You can drink it but remember 2 things...

1.) It still has calories (4/gram from sugar) and..
2.) You'll likely feel like crap and..
3.) It ain't very satiating...

Doubtful you have access to this but xanthin gum/cellulose soluble fibers like they sell in the supermaket (any Stop and Shop's in Afhanistan?) will accomplish 2 things:

1.) Slow down the GI of the sugars
2.) Provide a fuller feeling, longer

As you can see I'm in numeric mode again this AM...
