will i get fat by drinking liquor?

Question

ok i know that beer gives you a beer belly if you drink it often, but i drink all kinds of liquor(not beer). recntly my friend told me i was gonna gain weight if i keep drinking...is it true that liquor slows down the process of burning the fatty acids...(sorry i tried my best at explaining this situation)

Answer 1

The beer-belly is a caloric cause-and-effect. The beer and its kin are the most fattening of alcoholic beverages.

Gin, Rum, Vodka, Whiskey (80 proof, 1.25 oz.)
81calories

Regular Beer (12 0z)
143 calories

Light Beer (12 0z)
108 calories

Red Wine (4 oz.)
90 calories

White Wine (4 oz.)
84 calories

Soft Drinks (12 oz.)
150 calories

A 12-ounce can of regular or light beer provides 14-16 gm of alcohol, a measure used in the recommendations for "moderate" drinking. Moderate " means a daily intake of one drink for women and two drinks for men. A "drink" is defined as: one 5-ounce glass of wine, one 12-ounce can of beer, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof (40%) distilled beverage, each containing 14 g of alcohol.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

G'day Lovely Cinnie,

Thank you for your question.

Alcohol doesn't have fat but it does have calories. - 7 calories a gram as opposed to 4 calories a gram for protein or carbohydrates, Further, drinks can have high calorie additives such as soft drinks.

Further, most bars don't have much healthy food about. Snacks are peanuts and chips while much pub grub is fattening. Further, instead of cooking healthy meals yourself, you will be eating fatty foods at fast food places especially late at night when you feel like something to eat after hours of heavy drinking.

Regards

Answer 3

I am a drinker, have been all my life. But I didn't gain weight until after I turned 40. I just try to eat healthy and still enjoy booze as much as I can without getting crazy.

Answer 4

yes is the short answer. yes again is the long answer. whatever liquor you do take - it adds up to the body weight -- first because it has so many calories and second because it leads the body to inaction -- thus the real consumption and dissipation of the liquid does not take place. voila. part of the explanations, the rest is details, how much you drink, what is your weight, metabolism, do you eat with other food etc.etc. conclusion: yes for the "fat" part.

Answer 5

Yes, this is true, but you can still drink - just increase your salad intake. I know this sounds weird, but the thing is this: Liquor contains no vital elements, it's as dead as candy. If you add the enzymes it doesn't have by downing fairly large amounts of raw veggies, it won't have the same effect.

Answer 6

Yeah - your body is busy trying to metabolise the alcohol so anything you eat just gets turned straight to fat. This is how I went from a size 12 to a size 16.

Answer 7

Yes, by drinking liquor, like HennessVSOP, Martell, Johnny
Walker whisky, Beefeater gin or Smirnoff vodka, you won't
be fat or gaining any weight as they have no calories of fat or
carbohydrates in it. However, you'll be stupid enough to drink
and become an alcoholic faster than you think.
I suggest you find other ways of reducing your weight.

Answer 8

all of it incorporates energy that's what motives you to income exceedingly while you're taking in greater energy than you're burning off and exceedingly if those are empty energy like alcohol. The stuff with the main calorie content fabric according to serving may be the single that has the main "undesirable outcomes on your physique"

Answer 9

Both beer AND liquor have empty calories, so both will cause you to gain weight.

Answer 10

booze is full of calories, alcohol turns to sugar in your bloodstream and if not burned up then it goes right to fat, which is the storage process. so stop boozing.
