What is the strongest alcoholic drink with the least calories?Originally Posted by Bouji
Trick question.
Each gram of alcohol has seven kCals in it so the stronger the drink, the higher the calories. You could drink straight grain alcohol and still get a whack of calories. Also, it is metabolized very similarly to fat, so as far as nutrition goes, figure it's nothing but a mouthful of fat.

^^^ That said, calorie count will climb as mixers are added. So, for a strong drink and to keep the calorie count down, stick to Martinis, Sours and ditch the cocktails with sugar, syrup, creams, etc...
Here's a table that may be useful

Here's the problem.
Ethanol is ~ 7.1 calories/gram.
Carbohydrates and proteins are ~ 4 calories/gram.
Since Piobaire beat me to it, I will add something. Typical juice runs 37-54g of carbohydrates per 12oz. Typical soda is 40g of carbohydrates per 12oz.
