Does alcohol make you gain weight like vodka and cranberry juices?
Answers:
Well I noticed that someone claims that bacardi and diet coke is 0 calories, that is not true! Alcohol has calories, regardless of what it is mixed with. Pure alchohol is about 60 calories per ounce. Alcohol is made from sugar so it is perceived by the human body sort of like sugar. Most clean liquor (white rum, vodka, etc...) is around 75-80 calories per shot (1.5 oz). Anything like schnapps or jagermeister will be much higher in calories because they add sugar to the alchohol as well as other flavorings.
Beer on the other hand is around 150 calories per 12 oz beer (depending on the brand it can be a little more or less), so if you drink your liquor straight (or with a 0 calorie mixer) you get less calories from liquor than you do beer for the same amount of alchohol, but if you drink shots with sugary liquers and mixers they can have a lot more calories than a beer.
If you want to save calories when drinking, drink vodka on the rocks or with a 0 calorie mixer, then you will only be getting about 75 calories per drink.
heck yess!!! sometimes more so than beer!! look up calorie king or site like that to check the calories of alcoholic drinks
If it has calories, it can make you gain weight. Luckily, vodka and cranberry juice is a lot better for you than beer -- and fewer calories, too.
Yes, alcohol is just empty calories. There are no nutritional calories from alcohol.
Yes, it bloats you up like a balloon. It has way too many calories. But if you want to drink, your best bet is drinking Bacardi and diet coke... 0 calories!
Cut out the sugar laced juices and use diet soft drinks . I like Captain Morgan's spiced rum with diet 7-up and lime juice over ice.
Actually vodka alone does not make you gain weight. Some alcohol does but it's usually the mixers that get you. Sodas, juices, tonic, sour, liquers all have a lot of sugar and calories. Capt Morgan that someone advised definitely has sugar because its sweet. When I was on a carb diet I would drink vodka with club soda because it's the only thing that won't make you gain weight.
