  • Alcohol: Truly Bad for the britches!

    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
