I decided to cheat and have a drink last night. So me and the girls got one of those MD 20/20 rasberry malt liquor.
OMG!!! Dont drink those. I just looked at how many calories it has after the fact and it is

1536 calories per 1 oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had half a bottle!!!

Yes I checked other websites to make sure that my fitness pal was not just out to get me.


This is a sad day in my life I swear.

    "MD 20/20 is a fortified wine which means it has had brandy added to stop the fermentation at a certain point. The result is an alcohol content that works out to 40 proof, (% X 2). The rule of thumb is that it's one calorie per "proof" per ounce. So you have 40 calories... Add onto that the residual sugar that makes it sweeter than most wines, plus what gets added with the flavoring etc. You then come out closer to 60 calories per ounce."

    1/2 of 750ml = 375 ml
    375 ml = 12.68oz
    1.68oz x 60cal = 760.8cal

    Nobody should drink MD 20/20. Ever. For any reason. It's nasty.

    They also apparently have a red grape wine that is 40 calories per ounce according to this site: http://getdrunknotfat.com/

    So that would be 507.2 calories for half a 750ml bottle.

    Don't know if those are the same or totally different (I've never heard of the the stuff and don't drink), but hopefully that helps.
