Alcohol consumption is on the rise, even though happy hour at bars and restaurants is on hold in many parts of the world. How have you felt lately about alcohol? Just tipsy, got into a hangover, or did you fall asleep post alcohol?
Many times while we party we do not realize how much is too much and we end up consuming a lot and a lot of alcohol. l has wide-ranging effects on the body. There are purported benefits, as well as pitfalls, to consuming alcohol.
Once it enters your system, it triggers immediate physiological changes in the brain, heart, and liver, among other organs. Over time, these changes can lead to long-term health complications if you’re drinking too much.
There’s a lot you may not know about this popular substance that’s found in varied varieties ranging from beer, wine, gin, vodka, tequila, whiskey, rum and you can consume it in several forms like cocktails, shots, pints, and towers of beer or simply plain like whiskey.
Let’s understand each by its calories:
1. Beer(Alcohol)
Beer: Each category of beer can have a wide variety of calories. Most 12-ounce cans of light beer have about 4 percent alcohol and 100 calories
A beer, like Budweiser of the same size, is fairly light, too, with 5 percent alcohol and 150 calories. The following chart shows you the number of calories per pint for each brand.
But the calories begin to increase when you move from the above-mentioned alcohol having 5% alcohol content to Belgian brews, IPAs, and stouts, which often contain 7 to 10 percent alcohol.
If you consume a higher alcohol percentage, add up to another 100 calories each to the above calculations.
Calories by brands both outside and India: explained. Table 1.1 explains calories in 330 ml beer pint.

2. Wines
Wines: Wine is an old-age tradition that has been around for centuries. It is a sophisticated drink that takes years to produce to achieve the perfect taste.
Every bottle is fermented with science and history. And to put in simple classification, you can find them in either red or white wine.
More complex categories like port wine, sparkling wine, rose wine, fortified wine, etc can also be enjoyed.
Let’s understand the calories in wine. Table 2.1 explains calories per glass which is 150 ml -170 ml or 6 oz. Each bottle of wine is sized 750ml which means that you can end up consuming 4-5 glasses of wine in each bottle.

2.1 Wines and calories
3. Liquor Alcohol
Hard Liquor: Most of the time, we prefer to stick to a peg of whiskey or 2 shots of tequila or a max of 2 vodka cocktails.
Let’s understand the breakup for our liquor variety. 3.1 figure shows alcohol content and calories in 1.2 oz or approx 40 ml alcohol.
3.1 Hard liquor
Now, here is the deal. If you see, most beers (1 pint) are ranging between 100-300 calories, a glass of wine is 100-200 calories and the above-mentioned gin/rum/vodka/whiskey is also around 100-150 calories.
But the real differentiators are alcohol percentage, sugar content and quantity intake each time we drink alcohol.
If you see, % alcohol is quiet high with gin/vodka/whiskey/rum that is why you end up only sipping between 30-60 ml adding up to no sugar intake vs beer/wine adding upto many pints or glasses to feel high or tipsy to enjoy a Saturday night party.
4. Cocktails Alcohol
Mixing Alcohol and creating cocktails: Now each time we blend each of the above we end up consuming way more calories than all of the above.
For example, mixing gin+vodka+rum+juice may add up to (100+150+100+250=550 calories) over 550 calories or above in just 1 cocktail drink. In this chart, here are a few examples to explain the same:
