Adding Sugar

[yahoo]

I am in the habit of adding 1/2 cup cane sugar to my juices when I mix
them for brewing. The idea is to end up with a sweeter drink with a
higher alcohol content.

If I skip adding the sugar at the beginning and just start with the
juice and yeast, will the yeast "die of starvation" for lack of sugar
to eat after a period of time, or will the yeast stay alive after all
the sugar has been converted to alcohol and CO2?

What I'm want to do is brew a batch or 2 that I can sweeten to taste
AFTER the yeast is all done, without having to worry about fermentation
restarting if my drink warms back up.

Will it work?
