    hoax or not, I certainly enjoyed my cape cod. I'm going to the tanning salon now for a tan and then a pedicure/manicure to start my week off feeling good. Of course after my drink I feel good also. Hope you al have a great weekned, and again ladies, can't we all just get along. Like Amanda said too intense, only fun things should be that intense :bigsmile:

    Well, all I can say is that I am glad that I didn't waste my time hitting every liquor store in Nashville looking for the zero calorie vodka and instead worked out and enjoyed a nice glass of wine or two.

    If it's zero-carb...it would technically be zero-calorie as well. Any nutritive calories in your alcohol comes from, like I said, additives. If it's not a very pure form of alcohol, there will be more in it (like the sugars and hops). Vodka is a really pure form...there's no way to drink pure ethanol without dying, but they probably brought it as close as possible. There might be .5 calories per serving, but by law they can say it's zero calorie.

    I am wondering how the above statement can be true if the vodka people say their unflavored vodka doesn't contain carbs??? Just curious.:drinker:

    :laugh: EMPTY CALORIES!!!
    (Ok, necessary...but empty):grumble:

    How about an apple instead? :happy:

    I gave up drinking for the 100 day journey. mostly because I can't have ONE cocktail, one just makes me want to drink. so, I am interested in learning how you go about having just one, and what it does for you. do you feel the effects from one shot or glass or whatever it is? do you drink before dinner? late in the evening? everyday? so....give with the information folks. I am really interested. thanks.

    Wow!! I just read through all of these postings and now feel I should be entitled to some form of certificate or degree, I now know a whole lot about vodka and calories...But really folks there was some good info in these posts, I think the example I would have used would have been plastic, a petro product, has calories, you can eat it, and your body will discard it without any gain in weight. Why you ask? Because your body can not process it, cannot turn it into fat nor burn it for energy.

    I generally eat a frozen/processed meal once a day, they sometimes taste like they could be plastic!

    January 11, 2008




    Dear Consumer,

    Thank you for taking time to contact Smirnoff. We appreciate hearing from our consumers because your feedback is important.

    Unfortunately we have not made such a product, the closest thing that we have made to date is Smirnoff Ice Light. This drink is a low-carb alternative to our regular Smirnoff Ice line of beverages.

    Once again, thank you for contacting Smirnoff.

    Sincerely,

    Jack C

    I was unable to find anything on the web or on their website so I sent the email...I guess it was too good to be true!! :sad:

    Is it time to stop thinking and start drinking already? :drinker:
    I'm off to my favorite tavern, they have the best Italian Sausage Sandwich and fries.
    Plus they only clip you a buck per bloody mary, and they're filled with vegetables. :drinker: :drinker:
    Top of the day to ya'all, and enjoy it !!!

    My husband is a research student and is working with the FTIR instrument, that will test everything in the drink. If I can find a bottle of this so called Zero Vodka, then I will have him test the contents and post it for you all to see the results. If you don't know what an FTIR instrument is then you're not truly a chemist. Furthermore, we could always run another test on the GC-MS, these instruments are used as confirmatory test instruments in the science community.

    Anyway, if anyone wants my research team to start doing some research for you just let me know. These instruments are readily available to my team and we would love to put a report together of our findings. In fact it would be great to test any other myths that we could bust if that is the case.

    This was like watching the big bang theory! I didn't understand most of it but was able to chuckle at the right times!
