This study investigated the total sugar and low-calorie sweetener content in 72 alcoholic beverages. The samples included 10 takjus, 6 yakjus, 5 cheongjus, 5 beers, 12 fruit wines, 5 sojus, 5 general distilled alcoholic beverages, 9 liqueurs, and 15 other alcoholic beverages. Sugar and allulose content were analyzed using HPLCRI, and the content of five sweeteners was analyzed using HPLC-UV and LC-MSMS. The average sugar content in the alcoholic beverages was 4.13±5.16 g/100 g. When categorized by type, the sugar content ranged from 0.00 to 8.92 g/100 g, 0.00 to 30.55 g/100 g, and 0.14 to 17.02 g/100 g in fermented (takju, yakju, cheongju, beer, and fruit wine), distilled (soju, general distilled alcoholic beverages, and liqueur), and other alcoholic beverages, respectively. Sugar content was the highest in liqueur, with the average content being 12.41±9.66 g/100 g. Among low-calorie sweeteners, acesulfame potassium, sodium saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose were detected in concentrations ranging from 28.6-121.5, 42.3, 34.1-141.5, and 23.3-88.1 mg/kg, respectively. Cyclamate and allulose were not detected in any of the alcoholic beverages. Sweeteners were detected in 24 out of the 72 alcoholic beverages, and their content complied with the standards stipulated for food additives.
