Question: How many calories are in a typical shot of 80-proof liquor!?
I always thought there were a lot more calories in a beer than in a rum and diet soda, but I heard that wasn't true!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There are 100 calories (give or take a few) in a 1!.5 oz!. shot of 80 proof liquor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All alcohol yeilds 7 calories per gram!. there are 4 grams in one teaspoon, and 12 grams in one tablespoon!. so you should measure how big your shot glass is, then calculate!. The calories from alcohol are empty calories, they have zero nutritional value, because alcohol is a toxin!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A 1!.5 oz!. shot of rum has 97 calories in it!. It is the same for most other clear liquors (vodka, tequila, whiskey, etc!.)!.

How it compares to beer in calories depends on the brand and type of beer!. Most regular beers have 150-175 calories for 12 oz, but not all of them!. There are many beers that are very similar in calories to a rum and diet soda, such as:

Natural Light Beer has 97 calories
Miller Lite Beer has 96 calories
Pabst Blue Ribbon Extra Light has 70 calories
Budweiser Select has 99 calories
Coors Light has 102 calories
Michelob Ultra has 95 calories
Yuengling Light has 98 caloriesWww@FoodAQ@Com
