Anybody know the calorie count of 1 oz of sambuka or frangelica or baileys?
Thanks for the equation. It took me a while but I got it!

1.5 oz in a standard jigger. There are 7 calories in each gram of alcohol. To figure out how much alcohol is in a particular beverage, take the % alcohol figure and multiply it by .8 because alcohol is less dense than water..
Example:
2 ounces of 80 proof liquor.
2oz=60grams...
60 gramsX 40%= 24 grams...
24 gramsX .8=19.2 grams....
19.2 gramsX7 calories= 134 calories
another:
750 ml of wine at 13%alcohol (by volume)
750x.13=97.5 ml
97.5X.8=78grams
78 grams X 7 calories=546 calories/bottle of wine
5 glasses of wine per bottle= ~110calories/glass of wine (assuming there is no extra sugar in the wine)

the most calories out of all the alcoholic beverages, I'd say beer has the highest.
White wine has lower calories than a red wine I belive.
