I'm just curious, what's in alcohol that makes it so high calorie? I am aware of the sugar added in coolers and drinks like that, but what about just vodka?

    Alcohol is essentially straight sugar. Fermented sugar.

    alcohol is pure ethanol, ethanol is carbs. carbs = calories. the higher the alcohol content, the higher the calories. when i go out, i do vodka & water with lemon or jack & diet coke to save some calories.
