Whats got more calories in it? Beer? or Wine?

Question

Does anyone know which one makes you fatter?

Answer 1

Calories per 100ml;
Generic Beer (~4.5%) = 41cal
Wine (~12%) = 77cal
Wine has more calories than beer, but you tend to drink larger quantities of beer...
Heard somewhere that the ol' "Beer Belly" is more likely to be caused by the fatty snacks served in the pub that you eat when you're out on the piss - crisps, nuts, the evil pork scratchings, etc.

Wine will make you fatter and more drunk if you drink six pints of it every Friday night (probably not recommended... but maybe worth a go...?)

I drink far too much beer (well lager...) and I'm a skinny scrawny thing.

Everything in moderation.... aye right sod that!

Answer 2

by volume, wine has more. but a typical night out of 4 beers or 4 glases of wine...the beer overall would have more calories.

Incedently, some of a beer belly is actually the stomach and small intesting expanding to cope with the regular increase in volume. Thats also why people who eat a large volume of food, such as people who eat out every night, get a "beer belly", the increase in volume makes the stomach grow, its not just fat.

Answer 3

Wine actually has more calories, but people drink a lot more beers than wines when they're on the piss, and it tends to really add up that way.

Answer 4

Beer....but the benefit of not having to ingest sulfites found in wine makes beer a better choice.

Answer 5

Beer.

Answer 6

Beer!!! But who really cares? If you are on a diet, I was told that the best thing is red wine

Answer 7

Of course Beer has more calories in it.
Wine could help lower our calories, it is the opposite.
