problem is that alcohol itself is essentially sugar
yeasties eat sugar chains to make alcohol + CO2
but we just nutritionally count and consider it differently
And i see why because it is insane when you think of it that way.......
Gin, rum, vodka, whiskey, tequila
Calories = 97 (per 1.5 ounces)
Brandy, cognac
Calories = 98 (per 1.5 ounces)
imagine drinking 12 ounces of any distilled product
only way to lighten that up is to take out the alcohol and simply water it down.
get you some lite ciders or mix it with something less caloric.......like water, carbonated water, or other diet drinks
