Would a typical messy night out add a lot to the amount of calories i consume for that day? With the alcohol being things such as sambuca shots, wkds, wine, vodka, those type of things?

    If you're asking whether alcoholic drinks contain calories, the answer is yes.

    If you go over your recommended daily calories, then yes. It really depends how well you plan. You need to incorporate the alcohol/night-out calories into your eating schedule.

    Shots typically have 60 - 80 calories... wine can be a couple hundred per glass... roughly 7 cals / g.

    There's plenty of calories in it. If you have 5 shots, two glasses of wine that's a good 600 - 700 calories right there.

    Yeah when I'm home I only see my friends so often...but when I do it's an easy 30 rack of beer per 2 people...hmm 150 calories a beer average...150*15...2250...that's well over a day for me! I just have to make sure I eat a light breakfast & be extra good the days before & after a night out with the college friends.

    Also I like how you call it a 'messy' night...quite classy =P
