red wine is lower in carbs than beer and it has anti-oxidants.

drinking more than a glass of anything per day will be bad for you.
There are studies out there saying one glass of beer a day is ok too.

12 oz. can of beer: 146 calories
2.5 oz. shot of rum/vodka/etc. ~100-120 calories
Most of the calories come from the alcohol itself so an 80 proof anything will be about the same.
Really though, counting calories should be the least of your worries while out drinking - alcohol has disastrous effects on your body and they can last up to a week.
Unfortunately, booze is my crux and I haven't made anywhere near the gains I should because of binge drinking.

But we are crazy! I think that must be 100ml or something?
Advertising will try to sell you on a lot of things but I don't think it's possible to have calorie free alcohol...Isnt bacardi and diet coke like 1 calorie or something?
'Alcohol, like all things we consume (except water), contains calories. So when dieters are keeping track of their caloric intake, they can't forget alcoholic beverages. For most drinks, it is the alcohol that contributes to the total calorie content. So a comparison between drinks is easy; the higher the alcohol content, the higher the calorie count. The alcohol content of a beverage can calculated from its percentage alcohol content by volume (% ABV), which is marked on the bottle or container. Beer can have an alcohol content ranging from 0.05 -10%, wine usually is 5-13%, while liquors and liqueurs can be 14-40% alcohol. For drinks such as liqueurs that have lots of sugar in them, it is a combination of the alcohol and the sugar that bumps up their calorie count.
So what to offer? For the beer drinkers there is the choice of lite beer. By making that switch, a party goer can save about 40 calories per bottle. But what about drinks that contain "hard liquor"? Many people think gin is lowest in calories, but it just isn't so. Gin and tonic may have been the drink of choice for colonials, but that was to fight off malaria. Ounce per ounce gin has just as many calories as rum, whisky or tequila providing they all have the same alcohol content'

No actually I read that on this forum a while ago. I don't actually drink heavily I take my fitness goals a little more seriously than some.
Edit: A normal size vodka and water would be far less calories, for the same amount of alcohol as a beer. If the calculations in my brain are right.

Beer has some carbs in it....but not many. Realistically, calories shouldn't be the concern when drinking because alcohol is the real killer!Originally posted by DUBBED
