Frequently Asked Questions

How to calculate calories in alcohol?

Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram. To calculate: Volume(ml) × ABV% × 0.789(density) = grams of alcohol. Then multiply by 7 for calories. A standard drink contains roughly 14g of pure alcohol (~98 calories from ethanol alone).

Which alcohol has the fewest calories?

Clear spirits (vodka, gin) mixed with soda water have the fewest calories (~97 cal per shot). Light beer and dry wine are also relatively low-calorie options. Avoid sugary cocktails and cream-based drinks.

Does alcohol cause weight gain?

Alcohol provides empty calories (no nutritional value), slows fat metabolism, increases appetite, and impairs judgment about food choices. Regular heavy drinking is strongly associated with weight gain, particularly abdominal fat.
