Alcohol Calorie Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many extra calories are you consuming on alcohol?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of calories in mixed drinks depends on several things, including the amount and proof of the alcohol; the mixers; and the size of the drink.\u201d<\/p>\n

“It’s the mixers, syrups, and sodas that really get people into calorie trouble, because most drinks start with 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits that only have around 96 calories, but mixologists can easily turn that into a drink with hundreds of calories,” says Carolyn O’Neil, MS, RD, co-author of The Dish on Eating Healthy and Being Fabulous.<\/p>\n
