Calories in alcohol???

Question

I do great with my food and wach my calories....but we tend to drink quite a bit on the weekends. What are the best choices for low calorie alcohol or beer?

Answer 1

alcohol is really high in calories...even low carb beers still have 90 cal per drink.  Where it gets the worst is combining liquors like vodka rum etc with juices and sodas.  These combos create a hi cal sugar content.  The worst is sour mix aka margaritas and stay away from vodka redbull.  sour mix has about 14 grs of carbs and red bull is packed with sugar.   If you really want to watch your caloric intake stick to wine but when you really crave something like vodka do what I do...order a vodka (any type you want) and water and  carry a crystal light on the go and add a bit to your drink.  Pretty much brings it down to nothing and tastes great especially the raspberry.   I learned all of this from my nutritionist.  

Answer 2

Michelob Ultra... Low carbs, low calories...

And, it doesnt taste 1/2 bad....

Liquor, like Vodka or Whiskey has zero calories.....

Answer 3

1-12oz  beer, 1 shot (1.5oz) of Liquor, or 5 oz. wine each has 100 calories

Answer 4

Any light colored liqours.  Light rum, vodka, gin, etc.  No bourbons, whiskeys, dark rus etc.  They are darkened with molasses which is all sugar.  Beer is all carbs and calories so avoid at costs!

Answer 5

I would just try to stay away from beer altogether if possible. For low cal drink suggestions, and # of calories in different spirits I suggest you take a look at this liquor live link:
