Frequently Asked Questions

What alcohol has the least calories?
Plain spirits like vodka, gin, and tequila have the fewest calories at roughly 97 per 1.5 oz shot with zero carbs and zero sugar. Paired with soda water or served neat, they are the lowest-calorie option at any bar.
How many calories are in a glass of wine?
A standard 5 oz glass of dry red or white wine contains about 120 to 130 calories. Sweeter varieties like moscato or port can reach 160 to 230 calories per serving due to higher residual sugar.
Does alcohol make you gain weight?
Alcohol itself provides 7 calories per gram with no nutritional value. It also pauses fat oxidation while your liver processes it, and lowers inhibitions around food. Regular drinking without accounting for these calories can lead to weight gain over time.
How many calories are in a pint of beer?
A standard 12 oz regular beer has about 150 calories. A full pint (16 oz) runs closer to 200 calories. Light beers range from 90 to 110 calories per 12 oz, while craft IPAs can reach 250 to 350 per pint.
