Alcoholic beverages that get more and less fat

Summer is approaching, bikini operation is underway and many people wonder the same thing: does alcohol make me fat? Because drinking a beer to fight the heat, everyone likes it, but maybe we'll come back home wondering if it wouldn't have been better to drink something else. Not all alcoholic beverages make the same thing , since broad features depend on the concentration of alcohol.

If we simplify things, the more alcohol, more calories.Yes, distillates such as whiskey or vodka have more calories than fermented beverages such as wine or own beer.But the thing is not so easy, so next we will review the five alcoholic beverages that are more fat and the five that contribute less calories.That is, in both cases you have to drink in moderation.

The 5 most fattening drinks

Vodka : the first place on the list is for vodka, mistakenly considered one of the healthiest drinks.
At 300 kilocalories of a shot you have to add its 32 grams of alcohol, two more than the daily consumption recommended by the WHO.
Anis : every 100 milliliters of anis we eat 297 kilocalories.To get an idea, it is a caloric contribution almost equal to that of a slice of pizza.
Rum : the sugar cane is the base of the rum, so the caloric content is very high.Although the urban legend says that black rum fattens more than white, reality says that both have the same caloric intake.Another thing is that we accompany it.
Geneva : Gintonic has become fashionable and, although it has fewer calories than other drinks we have seen, gin is one of the most fattening.
A 250 milliliter gintonic with a portion of gin and four tonics is about 190 kilocalories, an acceptable amount.
Whiskey : A glass of 50 milliliters of whiskey with ice has more than 120 kilocalories, the same as cod or deer meat.

But you have to keep in mind that we don't normally drink these liquors alone, but we mix them with sodas, often with gas, still increasing their caloric value.

The 5 drinks that less fattening

Cider : surely, it is the best option.It not only contains 40 kilocalories per glass, but also provides all the active ingredients of the apple (vitamins , phosphorus, potassium...).
Beer : in addition to its benefits, 100 milliliters of beer only provide 45 kilocalories.
Its moderate consumption represents 4% of the calories of the male diet and 3% in the female diet.The experts add that The famous beer belly is a myth.
Vermouth : On a similar level we find the vermouth, although there are differences between sweet and dry.A 35 milliliter glass of the first provides 50 kilocalories, while 40 milliliters of sweet vermouth only involve 40 kilocalories.
Champagne : although according to the variety of champagne you can change, your caloric intake is around 70 kilocalories.Sugar content is one of the least fattening alcoholic beverages.
Wine : Our body can metabolize every day one or two glasses of wine without problem.
The antioxidants it contains help in the prevention of atherosclerosis or other diseases, and it is a vasodilator.Besides, it only contributes about 75 kilocalories.
