What alcohol has the most calories?
Pints of beer, large glasses of wine and sugary cocktails usually contain far more calories than lighter mixers and spirits. This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them, but you should be mindful of exactly how much you’re consuming (like with any alcohol!). To make these drinks slightly healthier, try opting for bottled beer rather than large pints and smaller glasses of wine or a white wine spritzer.
With cocktails, the biggest issue is the sugar content, which tends to be pretty hefty due to the large volumes of fruit juices, sugar syrups and creams – not to mention the alcohol! They may be delicious, but you might want to just enjoy the one before switching to a lighter option, or avoid them altogether if you’re trying to create healthier alcohol habits.
