Ok, I don't know what inspired me to look this up, and I know most of you don't want to hear it, but here's a friendly reminder as the patio season begins about the amount of calories in your drinks

Cocktail Mixer Chart
Type of Drink, Carbohydrate, Calorie
Beer (12 oz) 13 , 140 - 160 (check the label)
Red Wine (4 oz) 2 , 85
Bourbon (1 oz) 0 , 64
Tequila (1 oz) 0 , 65
Rum (1 oz) 0 , 65
Brandy (1 oz) 0 , 71
Vodka (1 oz) 0 , 65
Gin (1 oz) 0 , 65
Lemon Juice (1 tbs) 1.3 , 4
Lime Juice (1 tbs) 1.4 , 4

add to those numbers any mixers such as pop or juice and the numbers add up!

It makes me sad that beer is the worst (but the best...)!

As an aside, most people think tonic has less calories than regluar pop...

SURPRISE! It doesn't.

I can't begin to tell you how lame, anyone who actually count the calories in their drinks are.

 

[madnezz]

when you think that you have to run on the treadmill for an hour to work off five or six beers, you start wondering if it's worth it sometimes!!!

 

[ndrwrld]

if you know drinking 5 or 6 beers will pack on the pounds, and it worries you...
stop drinking beer.

Kinger explained to me on Sunday he mixes vodka with crystal lite and that's how he's so big.

that's what I did..I just enjoy various other spirits with less calories

 

[groovespinna]

my metabolism slowed down so I upped my drugs and dancing. lookin fine.

 

[L'ilMisSunshine]

Thanks Laura - I think we all should be informed about what we are putting into our bodies. Fuck people who think that's 'lame'

 

[Preroller]

Gin Martini's and Gin & Tonics it is then!

My mom was on the bernstein diet for a long time..he told her to drink greygoose and soda and said that was the least amount of calories in any alcoholic drink

 

[Sleepy Giant]

Thank you for ruining my summer.

You won't be saying that in 20 years when you're sporting a basketball under your shirt.

 

[Wiseman]

it's funny how beer *just* goes to the gut! eww beer belly!

 

[Casey]

Beer goes to my gut AND my butt!

 

[miller]

Alcoholics like to maintain svelte, sexy bodies too.

 

[groovespinna]

actually, most alcoholics I know are quite slender.
i think food is the problem here. ignore food. just keep drinking.

 

[AgentSanchez]

I've got a definite bit of the 'ol beer belly going on. Perhaps the fact that I like to mix 'food' with my meals is the issue. I will take your theory into consideration.

 

[TaCk OnE?]

I'll never give up beer, NEVER!


it's quite possibly the best food product I can think of.

 

[Joe Seven]

Drink all you want - as long as you excercise you'll be fine.

That Steamwhistle I had last night was sooo good. I love that beer right now.

It's more lame to be a fat ass.

Crystal Lite and Vodka all the way.
