Why aren’t health warnings on cigarettes expanded to alcohol? - lemm.ee

The fact that wine and beer bottles are exempt from those Nutrition Facts labels is utter nonsense.

If people knew how much sugar and calories are in their drink maybe they would think twice

I was drinking a while claw with my mother-in-law, and reflected that 100 calories was pretty good.

She responded she preferred her normal vodka sodas because they have 0 calories…

Honestly I wouldn’t know if I didn’t have to take nutrition 101 in college.

Actually who am I kidding if I didn’t know I probably would’ve googled it.

Face. Palm. I hate this so much. I’m an overweight guy who has struggled with alcohol abuse over the pandemic. The caloric content of hard liquor is huge. So many sources will tell you it’s so much better than beer. I remember when I was trying to be low carb back into he day, I was only drinking vodka and diet sodas. It was fine at first… Until my tolerance rise to the level of needing a litre or more of vodka in a night to get drunk. That’s some serious calories! You WILL get fat on hard liquor, I don’t care how low-carb it is.
A lot less calories in a litre of vodka than the alcohol content equivalent of beer. It is a lot lower calorie than beer, but you’re not meant to sit around and drink a litre of fucking vodka dude. That’s definitely not on “the sources” lol
Zero calories? 100 g of 60 % vodka is 370 calories
90 cal a shot is my usual quick math. Clearly not my mother in law’s.
