What hard liquor has the least amount of calories?

Answer 1

Vodka - 0 calories.

Answer 2

If you drink enough that you get sick it would actually be negative calories (not recommended)...

From Cocktails and calories: Beer, wine and liquor calories can really add up. Here are the breakdowns for your favorite bar beverages - Nutrition
Shape, Jan, 2002 by Amy Goldhammer, Cristina Markarian

"A 1.5-ounce shot of any 80-proof liquor - vodka, rum, tequila, gin, etc. - has 100 calories; if your straight shot is 100 proof, it's 124 calories. (The proof number is twice the alcohol content of the beverage: i.e., 80 proof means the liquor is 40 percent alcohol; 100 proof is 50 percent.) But when a shot is combined with a prepared mix, juice or soda, the calorie count can go a lot higher. To wit (all nutrient statistics are based on 80-proof liquor)"

Answer 3

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
NO. OF CALORIES/FLUID OUNCE

Beer
12

“Light” beer (dilution of alcohol)
10

Wine
20

Cream drinks—like eggnog
50

“Hard” liquor
Approximately 65 (at 80 proof)

Sweet liqueurs
150


Since the average wineglass these days holds approximately 4 ounces, there are 80 calories/glass of wine. Average consumption is three glasses, or 240 calories/social occasion. The one handful of nuts— 2 ounces @ 175 calories/ounce—is 350 calories. H-m-m-m-m. What snacks are usually served with the wine? Cheese and nuts.

Most of the calories from alcoholic drinks are consumed in mixed drinks. For instance, a frozen daiquiri has approximately 100 calories/ounce. At 12 ounces, each daiquiri has approximately 1200 calories. It is possible to decrease the calories with flavored mixers. For instance, one of the nutritional dietary food supplements available at my clinic—when mixed with crystal-flavored powder and rum—has only 200 calories/daiquiri compared to a “real” drink. I am certain that you would not be able to tell the difference, especially after the first drink.

The most calorie-increasing aspect of alcohol is its effect on inhibition. It takes serious effort and planning to refrain from excessive calories. Alcohol decreases inhibition. Therefore, all “caution often gets thrown to the wind” after a few drinks. Then comes the food! After a weekend of “disinhibition,” the challenge is to become re-focused on the diet.

Remember: A 150-pound person has to walk 1 mile to burn off 100 calories. Therefore, each drink has its own “worth it—not worth it” price. To contain calories, choose beer. But watch out for the snacks because that’s where calories are hiding.

Answer 4

Vodka has the least of all spirits. Most all 80 proof liqors have in the range of 60 to 70 calories per fluid ounce.

"As far as I know hard liquor such as Alize, Hypnotiq, butterscotch drops", these are not hard liquors they are "liqueurs"
they have high sugar and calorie content.

Answer 5

All hard liquors @ 80 proof have approx. 96 cal per 1.5 oz , 0 carbs

The total calories and alcohol content vary depending on the brand. Moreover, adding mixers to an alcoholic beverage can contribute calories in addition to the calories from the alcohol itself.

Answer 6

I'm going to have to say anything that isn't sweet and fruity is your best bet. As far as I know hard liquor such as Alize, Hypnotiq, butterscotch drops, and any other flavoured vodka or rum generally has loads of sugar content in them obviously making them high in calories. I usually stick with the raw vodka to avoid packing the pounds and I never mix with coke or juice (if you want to go to that extreme). Hope that helps.

Answer 7

Vodka: 61 calories per fluid ounce
Whiskey: 62 calories per fluid ounce
Gin: 62...
Bourbon: 69 ...

Answer 8

Vodka.

Answer 9

All 40% alcohol whiskey products such as bourbon, tequila, rum, vodka, gin, scotch have the same number of calories; about 100 per drink.

Answer 10
