Good humo day my fellow xangans.
I've been doing alot of "research" lately for my podcast, and guess what?
The other day I ran into a table listing calories for basically all of the alcohol
that many peoples consume. I was none to shocked at the amounts, but yeah.
Okay so heres the deal. Almost all hard liquor has the same amount of calories for its respective proof (i.e. Tequila = Vodka)
With out further ado:
1 Fluid ounce - one shot - (1 oz):
80 Proof (40% by volume): 70 calories
90 Proof (45% by volume): 79 calories
100 Proof (50% by volume): 85 calories
Now for liquer (i.e schnapps, triple sec) its much more comlpicated. With so many to name, I'll give the most popular:
Triple Sec:
Schnapps : 1.5 ounces - 150 calories
Drambuie: 135 calories
Southern Comfort: 120 per Ounce - 240 for 2.0oz
Anisette: 100 calories
Apricot Brandy : 82 calories
B&B: 95 calories
Benedictine: 95 calories
Campari : 98 calories
Coffee Liqueur: 155 cal
Creme de Banane : 125 cal
Creme de Cacao (White and Dark): 135 cal
Creme de Cassis : 100 cal
Creme de Menthe (Green and White) --- 170 cal
Curacao : 85 - 90 calories
Kirsh: 100 calories
Pernod: 100 calories
Sloe Gin: 100 calories
Southern Comfort --- 160 cal
Tia Maria --- 120 cal
Dry Vermouth --- 115 cal
Sweet Vermouth --- 150 cal
Sherry --- 95 cal
Port (Ruby) --- 165 cal
Port (White) --- 150 cal

This is why all my friends who drink have big bellies now. I started drinking less as soon as I found out. Not that I drank much to begin with. A lot of people dont think about it though!
@suggestivetongue - Heheh. This is true. I usually dont drink much, unless it pertains to my "research.
I will make this entry official by the end of the week.
And my mom wonders why she can't lose weight...
I see you've got another nifty suit picture... :D
@sweetxrefuge - These are all vintage babe. Any other suit you'd like to see?
@Mentalist_Jones - Hm...any in pimpin' purple?
It amazes me how unhealthy drinking liquids can be--Coca-Cola, Gatorade, and beer are all surprisingly "calorific."
@sweetxrefuge - Purple looks bad on me. However, I might do a black or grey if I can find the right shirt.
@GreekPhysique - Too true...
thanks! this was very helpful info
good thing I don't drink.
@blanket_attack - Aren't you a bit young for that anyways? You better not, lest you commit a "Bristol" if you catch my drift.
Ryc: Thank you!
see, i should copy this and send it to my "calorie-counting" friends who drink alcohol like it's water.
*complex
oh gosh, this makes me want to not drink ever. that's so gross. getting drunk basically equates to like a day of working out...no thanks. :(
