Whats In Your Glass?

I went to www.askmen.com and searched 'what was the caloric intake for different alcohol drinks?'. This is what I found:


Note: All figures are based on a 12-ounce beer. If you drink from a pint glass, which is roughly 16 ounces, the calorie content of alcohol increases.

Beer
BrandCaloriesCarbs (g)
Budweiser14510.6
Coors Light1025
Miller Genuine Draft14313.1
Michelob15513.3
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale17514.1
Sam Adams Boston Lager16018
Heineken15011.5
Corona14813
Guinness Extra Stout15317.4

Note: Each example below is based on a 4-ounce glass. However, depending on the bar or the restaurant (or how much you pour yourself), glasses may be as large as 8 ounces.

Wine
TypeCaloriesCarbs (g)
Cabernet Sauvignon (red)902.5
Merlot (red)952.5
Chianti (red)1002.5
Chardonnay (white)901.1
Sauvignon Blanc (white)801.1
Port (Ruby)185Up to 10

Note: These approximate values are based on 1½ oz of alcohol and 8 oz of mixer. Keep in mind, however, that jumbo-size drinks in restaurants can contain much more. For example, a Long Island Iced Tea can pack up to 16 ounces and 750 calories.

Cocktails
TypeCaloriesCarbs (g)
Gin & Tonic2004
Vodka Cranberry2205
Bloody Mary1804
MargaritaUp to 500Up to 10
Long Island Iced TeaUp to 550Up to 11

Next time, think twice before taking a SIP!!!
