Description:
Have you ever stopped to look at how many calories are in an alcoholic drink? I bet many of you haven’t looked, or have gone as far as to purposefully avoid looking because you know it will put a damper on your “fun.” Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but alcohol is a significant source of both calories and carbs. The image below created by thespruceeats.com is a perfect visual overview of the nutritional value of various beers – the most sold alcoholic beverages in America. As you can see, the average regular beer is about 150 calories and 12 carbohydrates per serving. To put this into perspective, a 12 ounce can of Coca-Cola contains 140 calories. Light beers are closer to 100 calories and 5-6 grams of carbohydrates. When you go out and drink 3-4 beers, you are actually consuming hundred of calories. “NIAAA defines heavy alcohol use as more than 4 drinks on any day for men or more than 3 drinks for women”. This means that someone who drinks heavily on a daily basis may be drinking 400 extra calories per day. When you eliminate alcohol from your diet and choose a glass of water or unsweetened tea, you would be eliminating the equivalent of an entire extra meal from your day.
