Ok can someone please explain how liquor can be fattening

[hanselthecaretaker]

Particularly vodka since it has zero carbs, is distilled (like all liquors), so sugars should have no relevance since yeast can't be fermented past roughly 15% alcohol. I thought alcohol also broke down sugars (glucose) in the liver, so where does all the calories and sugar in liquor come from?


This kinda pisses me off.

I think it has something to do with the grain used to make it.

Sky for one has nutrition facts of zero fat, zero carbs, zero preservatives, but yet 70 calories per shot. Wtf.

alcohol is 7 calories per gram

It pisses me off. Liquor, particularly vodka, shouldn't be fattening. It's the purest cosumable liquid next to water, yet it has all these hidden fucking calories, fucking shit. I'm acting like a lil bitch but I don't give a fuck.

alcohol is it's own macro nutrient @ 7 kcals per gram. That's how. It's not really fattening.....You will burn the alchohol for energy as long as it's available.

The only way it's fattening is when you ingest other macro nutrients....like when you grub out after a night of drinking that shit will probably be stored as fat because you are still running off the booze for energy.

if you are looking at it from a science nutritional level, then props to you. if you are looking at it as a "how can i get wasted on the least amount of calories" type of thing, than LOL
