That's about a six pack of beer (light). Personally, I don't think it's a big deal to have a six pack or something once in awhile, but I don't think I'd do it on a cut.

Then again, IF I did do it, I would have to count it as a cheat.

Thanks 4 the info mate, yeah you're right u gotta let your hair down now and again but take your point it's not best to over-do things especially when on a cut!!!

No problem. Just keep your diet in check, and it'll be fine.

Vortrit, are you sure that info is accurate? Most people are under the impression that shots (on their own, not mixed drinks) are less calories than your typical beer (even light beer). Is this just a myth?

Thats what I thought. Say you have a 1 standard drink beer and 1 shot equalling 1 standard drink. Is the alcohol content is the same but you dont get all the other ingredients?

Im just guessing

Im on a cut and find it hard not to drink. Never tried thinking of it as a cheat. Instead of pizza and drinks on the weekend maybe just drinks. Good idea

one fluid ounce of 80 proof vodka is 64 cals.

one fluid ounce of light beer is 9 cals. 12 ounce can = 108 cals.

so which spirit or alcoholic drink contains the least cals?

gin rum vodka whiskey

assuming 80 proof

Ah, so assuming the shot you drink is 1.5 ounces (which I believe is the standard), one shot is still less calories than one light beer (96 vs 108). Much closer than I would have thought. Thanks for the info, Iain.

Gosh I think I'm going to go home and have a drink now....

What I did say was that 700 calories is about a six pack of light beer. I don't believe I stated on or the other had more or less calories.

Think for a second man, you won't be drinking nearly as much liquor as you would beer, so if you are concerned about cals. Stick with the liquor.

just get high ... then eat whatever the fuck u want

You're right. I just didn't think it would be that close.

Depends. Sometimes when you are just chilling on beers, you aren't trying to knock down as many as possible. With shots, I find that I will often be doing doubles. I don't always drink beer to get drunk. With shots, that's usually where I'm heading. With a beer, at least with time passing you can have it in your hands. With shots, once you're done, you want something else in front of you... you may be more likely to drink more. Plus you get more full off of beer.

Yeah, I prefer not to get drunk anymore. It just gets me into trouble.

here's a question, let's say I drink about 700 cals of vodka would I be looking to be put on as much fat as if I would to eat a 700 cal burger?

I realise cals consumed vs. cals burned is the rule in weight loss but what'd the answer?

Holy crap, 700 calories of vodka would knock me on my ass!

I estimate a martini has about 110 calories in it on average, between the alcohol and whatever other liquid you like to put in it.

Three martinis makes a Baboon happy.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Liquor contains more calories per 100ml, but also a LOT more alcohol. Therefore, liquor has the best alcohol to kcal ratio.

Besides, liquor will get you drunk easier because you're drinking peak amounts of alcohol as opposed to a steady intake.

Really who cares... If you are going to drink, drink what you enjoy. Stop worrying about cals, you are already stalling your progress by drinking anyway, so might as well drink away.

I think the random shit that you'd do on that night would help burn whatever calories you consume.
