Generally speaking a 12 oz beer, 5 oz glass of wine and 1.5 oz shot all have the same alcohol content. And about the same amount of calories as well.

So you can pretend you'll stay in better shape drinking liquor but it's not true, liquor has a lot of calories.

Yeah but drinking 5 shots of whiskey is easy, drinking 5 glasses of Jesus juice isn't and has more sugar so your hangover will be worse.

Wine is for stay at home suburban moms and dudes who wax their mustaches. Shot of well whiskey and a beer please.

That depends massively on the style of beer. Yeah a shitty Bud has 100 calories just like a shot or glass of wine but an IPA or Stout you are looking in the 200-300 range. Plus you can get drunker faster on liquor so you can do like 4 shots and feel buzzed but even off 4 Buds you're probably barely feeling it.

I drink more whiskey than anything but I honestly prefer to drink wine over beer for the most part. Obviously it depends on the setting but for your sitting at home workday drinking while watching TV its whiskey or wine. Game days is beer or else I'll get too drunk.

I think beer/wine encourages you to "keep drinking" because it's something you can sip on for a while, it keeps you low-level buzzed for a while and to keep that up you keep drinking it. If you just do shots, you'll get plastered after a few and stop. Haha, well, you should stop. Sometimes you don't.

There are ABVs on those "standard volumes". 40% ABV for the shot, 5% ABV for the beer and 12% ABV for the wine. So yeah, if you drink 3.something% Bud Light vs 11% barrel aged imperial stout, there will be a difference.

My tolerance sucks. I'm tipsy after two craft high gravs now. Three and I'm petting my wife like she's a kitten. Apparently I get very affectionate when drunk. This is what happens when you drop to only drinking on weekends etc to not have empty cals

Yeah, I've gone through this too. I drank to excess probably 5 nights a week through all of my 20s. Today that only ever happens on a weekend and its becoming less and less frequent.

But when once of those nights does come around, I end up drinking at the same pace I used to and then get sloppy really quickly. I've never been good at pacing myself with booze. You can pretty much label me as a binge drinker. I'm responsible about it and not like an angry drunk or anything, but sure is different dealing with a buzz after just 3 drinks now.

Its all about vodka shots for me. Cant do beer anymore cause I feel bloated. I guess I will down a few light beers in the summer by the pool, but thats about the extent of my beer drinking. When I want to get a buzz its shots. Quick and effective.

I do gin/club soda mostly these days. I've almost completely stopped drinking craft beer since all the ones I like are 300+ calories.

You guys do realize that alcohol calories do not equal food calories because of the way the body processes alcohol right?

I love a perfectly balanced beer. Noodle hates everything that's good in the world. And he just declares anyone who disagrees with him as a hipster. Anything more complex than a saltine with mustard on it is artisan food snobbery.
