  • Should You Reach for that Pint or Take a Shot Instead?

    Usually during this time of the year most people make resolutions regarding their health and fitness. If you are one of them, you may have wondered which drink to order at the bar that would be better for your health – beer or hard liquor?

    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.
    3. Hard liquor such as gin and vodka is carb and protein free. Regular beer contains carbs and a small amount of protein.
    4. Beer has a small amount of vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium while hard liquor has none.

  • Report Claims Alcohol has More Calories Than Sugary Drinks

    Although sugary drinks like lemonade and cola have a bad reputation for being bad for your health, full of sugar and high in calories, research has emerged which reveals that people in most countries get more calories from alcohol than sugary drinks.

    The data suggests that the UK as well South Korea, Poland, Finland, Czech Republic and Germany get more daily calories from alcohol than sugary drinks.

    The only country examined that got more calories from sugary drink intake daily is Taiwan.

    Analysts from Euromonitor International examined 24 countries before coming to the realisation that most have a higher daily calories consumption from alcoholic drinks than sugary drinks.

    For example in the UK, adults drink more than 98 calories from sweetened drinks and 106 from alcoholic drinks.

  • Queensland Shots Ban after Midnight Condemned

    Proposed lockout laws in Queensland would see a ban on serving shots after midnight, which the distilled alcohol industry is understandably upset about.

    The Distilled Spirits Industry Council of Australia (DSICA) condemned the proposed laws saying in a submission to the Legal Affairs and Community Safety Committee that the proposed changes were “based on flawed assumptions”.

    The DSICA called for more education surrounding the effects of alcohol but said it supported the overall objectives of the Proposed Bill and also shared in the state government’s concerns around irresponsible drinks promotions and alcohol fuelled misconduct.
