It’s important to understand that drinking should always be done in moderation and that means sticking to the daily recommended amount, however if calories and content are more of a concern, then you may want to know this.

1. A regular serving of beer contains 150 calories and light beer 105. A shot of hard liquor contains around 96 calories.
2. Don’t add mixers to your hard liquor because this will pack on the calories. For example a shot of hard liquor in a glass of orange juice is 216 calories. Opt for seltzer, water and ice instead.
