Alcohol...what NOT to drink ✌️

• There are no diet alcoholic drinks.
• Have what you like.
• If people gotta slam it down to be social, let them
• Cheat. Ask the bartender for diet soda and float a spoonful of liquor on top. Smells and looks like a drink to other people.

The calories in hard liquor is based on the alcoholic content.

A 1.5 oz shot of 80 proof is 97 calories, same alcohol calorie content as a bottle of Budweiser.

Beer is not that much worse. Budweiser is a good example: 5% alcohol,10.6 g carbohydrates, 145 calories per 12 oz. Carbs are 5 calories per gram, so 53 calories from carbs and 92 from alcohol. (http://www.beer100.com/calories_in_beer.htm)

Throw in sugar for a liqueur and a shot rises to 165 cal, same as that beer.

Feelin' like the Big Lebowski? A White Russian is
1 shot vodka (97)
1/2 shot kaluha (83)
1/2 shot light cream (87)
267 calories

A 10 oz sugar soda mixer (Canada Dry ginger ale) is 110 calories
With a shot of whiskey and you are around 200 cal. For one drink.

I manage to fit one homebrew per day into my calorie goal. Life is good.

Guinness Draft is 125/12 oz bottle. And I can make that last way longer than a hard liquor drink. I do, have to splurge with champagne once a month...my favorite wine.
