    It is good you went to the gym today but if u only drank alcohol with diet coke it would have had 0 calories anyway. Only wine and beer have calories but hard liquor does not!

    Enjoy yourself tonight and don't worry about the calories, going over even 200 once a month won't make you gain any weight and you could always eat less calories the next day to make up for it!

    Happy New Years! :)


    ooh nevermind! I was mistaken lol.
    this is patently false. Alcohol has calories, 7 calories per gram in fact, which is more than both carbs and protein. Beer and wine have other carbohydrates which increases the calories, but a straight shot of vodka still has about 60 to 70 calories (80 proof).

    My original reply kinda came out harsher than I meant it. Hopefully miaangel, you didn't take it the wrong way. It was meant to sound strong, but not condescending.
