Answers:
No, actually it couldn't be farther from the truth!. Wine in general has a huge amount of calories!. It's actually 25 calories per ounce and quite a few empty carbohydrates!.

The alcohol with the least amount of calories are the clear spirits like vodka!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most of the calories in alcoholic drinks come from the alcohol, unless they're REALLY super sweetened!. But, according to numerous studies, consumption of alcohol does not correlate with weight gain, and under certain circumstances correlates weakly with weight loss (but this is not to downplay the other health risks associated with drinking)!.

One of the reasons that drinking appears to cause people to gain weight is that many people also increase the amount they eat when drinking, especially at parties and other events where there's a lot of food around!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Best bet is a clear spirit, and if you don't want to drink it straight, try it with a slimline or diet mixer (or fruit juice)!.

The reason that alcohol is linked to putting on weight is because it's a relaxant and therefore people tended to allow themselves treats or eat more than they usually would after drinking!. But if you can restrain your self and stay away from high carb beers and sugary drinks you should be fine!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

White wine is full of sugar and is a big no no if you are trying to lose weight!. A glass of red would be much healthier and if you are really concerned about calories sugar etc try clear spirits like vodka and water (no soda mixers)Www@FoodAQ@Com
