A drinking question?!


Question: which is the most fattening : beer, alcohol, or wine?


Answers: which is the most fattening : beer, alcohol, or wine?

All alcohols will have plenty of calories. A Heavy beer will probably be the most fattening....especially since you would have to drink more of those than the other higher alcohol percentages of wine or liquor.

Now for least fattening go with any straight liquor with water....or my personal fav:

Bacardi Superior and Diet Cola. 66-85 Calories, 0 Carbs, 0 Sugar, 0 Fat.

The paragraph below only uses 1 oz. of Bacardi in the drink, most bartenders put 1.5 oz. so I would say about 80 calories not 66, but still, that's nothing... and you would have to drink about 5 of these to get wasted in comparison to about 10 beers.

"BACARDI(R) Superior with Diet Coke Is the Brilliant Cocktail of Choice For Calorie and Carb Counters

A scant 66 calories per cocktail (based upon 1 ounce of BACARDI Superior (white) rum and one 6 oz. serving of the leading national diet cola brand, BACARDI(R) Rum and Diet Cola is the perfect drink for those making lower calorie cocktail choices. Even fans of incredibly popular carb-free programs who choose to drink need not deprive themselves of an occasional cocktail because a BACARDI(R) Superior Rum and Diet Cola cocktail offers a refreshing solution with no carbs and no sugar. It tastes smooth, light and fantastic - with 0 grams of guilt."

wet wine is has alot of calories

I believe alcohol is all of them. So are you asking which drink is most fattening? The one with the most calories

Wine has more carbs if thats what you mean. You can always get light beer if you want.

After a night of drinking cocktails, most people will not only wake up the next morning with a screaming hangover, they'll wake up fatter too.

That's because the average serving of one ounce of 80-proof alcohol contains about 90 calories. And that's before mixers are added. While many people who spend hours on treadmills or yoga mats may smugly eschew dessert or ban butter from their diets, often they will happily consume a cocktail--or three--without giving it a second thought. But they do so at considerable peril to their waistlines. A Pina Colada, for example, has more calories than a Big Mac.

Almost any liqueur ... Amaretto, Chambord, Creme de Cacao, Creme de Menthe, etc., are going to be your highest calorie tipple.

White wines ... the sweeter, the higher the calories. A Sauterne is a dessert wine and therefore going to be higher sugar count.

Wine Coolers and drinks of that ilk, are all high calorie because of the added ingredients. The same for many mixed drinks.

Beers will vary by type and brand.

All of them have calories.

All kinds of alcohol are pretty high in calories vs. their nutritional content. But honestly, who drinks alcohol for nutrition!?

The worst are mixed drinks (unless with diet soda) because you have the calories from the alcohol and the calories from the sugary mixer.

Here is a website with a lot of specific calorie info: http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/br...

Also, ask any partier ... a night of drinking often leads to poor eating decisions that night and/or the next day! (example: bar pizza & gas station sandwiches)

no.1 is beer
No.2 is alcohol special vodka

the variable you didn't include is the sugar. The sweetest will probably put the most pounds on. Alcohol is metabolzied by the body first and doesn't got to fat. So in terms of that, higher alcohol is better. Beer is the lowest alcohol and also has a lot of carbs. You'd need to drink more of it to get the same buzz as hard booze or wine. So beer is probably the worst. They call it a beer gut, not a wine gut.

And I have seen a lot of skinny alcoholics who only get calories from hard booze. But of course it's a terrible diet for lots of other reasons.

The best way to save calories is drink whiskey or scotch with water. approx 80 calories per drink. 1 shot of all 80 proof liquors have approx 80 calories.

If you prefer beer, Amstel light, Miller lite, and Michelob Ultra have approx 93-95 calories per beer. They also have a lower alcohol content then other beers.
