Alcohol Calories
For those of you kind enough to respond to this dumb ole man’s question about the missing calorie substance in Light Beer, you were all right! Budweiser answered my question with the same answer; alcohol has 7 calories per gram. Then they encouraged me to continue drinking their product. I don’t drink it to start with, but I got my answer for my fat beer drinking friend…lol I guess that’s why it’s called empty calories…

My wife and some of her friends were confused also….they were trying to think of drinks that had zero calories….I told them carbs and proteins are 4 cal/gm and fat is 9, alcohol being 7…regardless of what fruity low cal beverage you mix it with!

Budweiser is really pissed at me. I should be ashamed, since they have more than likely had to lay off a few hard working employee’s since I quit pounding a 20 pack a day back in December.
I still do miss those empty calories occasionally.

In addition to empty cal’s, alcohol interferes with the body’s metabolizing fats & carbs……..i.e. it’s a freaking fat storage machine. NOT what I’m shooting for these days. Looks like it’s off the menu boys!
