St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow. That being said I felt like it would be a good idea to post a reminder about the calorie content of alcohol for those who will be celebrating.


On St. Patrick's Day alcohol has no calories.


That is all!

    And I forgot to add....

    Its actually negative calories if you mix the alcohol with Jello in the form of jello shots!

    Depends. Irish whiskey has zero calories. Scotch has double. So scotch drinkers beware, get it in tonight.

    This makes me giggle. But in all seriousness, when I got on the fitness train, booze was the 1st to go. Don't want to be that fat chick as the bar (like in my pic taken 3 yrs ago at my heaviest).

    That's only true if you do something fun around a lot of people. It's called the law of large numbers. Google it if you really want a reason to doubt. But then you'd be a hater. Nobody likes a hater.

    So does this also mean I can count the calories I walk from bar to bar during the pub crawl as actual exercise?!

    I pretty much blew my calories for the weekend and St. Paddy's day is tomorrow! Doh.

    Here is a good low calorie drink idea, one ounce of 40% vodka with sugar free Fresca. It tastes exactly like Smirknoff Ice but with only 50 calories :D

    So I am guessing bad beer and shots of Jack aren't on the prescribed list?
