Is it true that beer makes you fat so it is better to drink hard alcohol like vodka?

Answer 1

Yes, it has calories. So I guess it has the potential to make you fat just as everything else does, but quantity is key.

Answer 2

All alcohol is high in calories. Light beers = 100 or so calories, regular beer = 200+ calories, and vodka = 80 calories/oz.

Plus, when you drink, you don't digest fats as well and you tend to gain more weight. That's part of the reason drinkers end up with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and overweight.

Answer 3

It's the carbs. Hard alcohol has them too. Some of them more than beer. Drink light beer

Answer 4

Yes! Vodka has zero carbs and zero calories! The higher the proof the lower the sugar!

Answer 5

it makes you fat because beer is made out of barley and other starches that gives us carbohydtates and calories.....and imagine the volume that you'll be putting in your stomach comparing to vodka or other hard liquors.

Answer 6

beer has more calories and carbs, some hard alcohols do too. one that is low in calories and carbs is bacardi. but with all of the carb craze you can find low carb and calorie beer too, my favorite is miller lite

Answer 7

I live by that rule and always stick to vodka or rum with a diet soda or juice.

Answer 8

liquor is actually very calorie dense, plus if you mix it that adds more sugar and calories. if you take shots you will take in less calories but you also do more damage to your digestive ststem. your better off drinking beer in moderation.

Answer 9

yes!
but there's nothing like beer on a summers' day

Answer 10

All of them contain alcohol which is not good for brain and liver, I've heard.
