what has more calories? beer or vodka?

Question

i work in a restaurant and the chef has a bet on with the manager that vodka has more calorie than beer my boss says otherwise. i drink neither but would really like this resolved as its eluding me

Answer 1

Vodka is blessedly, blessedly calorie-free... and yummy over ice with a slice of lime.

Answer 2

Beer contains more calories. Vodka, while "fat and calorie free" causes the body to produce fat...

A converse argument:

Beer (4.6% alc): 41 calories
Wine (12% alc): 77 calories
Spirits: 250 calories
Milk: 64 calories
Orange juice: 42 calories
Apple juice: 47 calories
Source: BBPA

According to the BBPA, a glass of beer with a typical 4.6% alcoholic volume, has fewer calories not only than a similar measure of wine, but also milk or fruit juice.

CALORIES PER 100ml

Beer (4.6% alc): 41 calories
Wine (12% alc): 77 calories
Spirits: 250 calories
Milk: 64 calories
Orange juice: 42 calories
Apple juice: 47 calories
Source: BBPA
Spirits, meanwhile, contain more than six times the calories of beer, and when mixed with a soft drink, the calorie-count soars even higher.

But who ever heard of a wine belly or a vodka gut?

Research into drinking habits has found that beer's fattening reputation has more to do with the lifestyle of those who drink it, and the greasy bar snacks that often accompany a night down the local.

Geez...now I'm confused...

Answer 3

Definetely Vodka!!!

80-proof Vodka - 65 calories per fluid ounce
Most Beer - about 11 calories per fluid ounce

I can't believe almost everybody said BEER, It's definetely Vodka!!! Yes, obviously you drink larger amounts of beer than you would Vodka, but 1 oz of vodka contains more calories (more alcohol, duh) than beer.
