What are the Benefits to Low Calorie Drinks?

Before we get into what drinks have lower calories, let’s take a minute to talk about what the benefits are to choosing a drink with lower calories.

One factor would be that calories coming from alcohol has little, if any, nutritional benefit. You may be able to argue a slight benefit depending on what a drink is made with (for example, fruit juice), however most drinks provide no substantial benefit to our health.

As a result, calories from alcoholic drinks are commonly referred to as “empty calories”. If we consume more calories than we burn in a day, then we would store the calories which can lead to weight gain.

So the benefit of lower calorie drinks is that you are avoiding some of the unnecessary calories in drinks. Many liquors can be mixed with soda’s, however choosing a mixer like seltzer, or soda water, would be a lower calorie choice as they have zero calories.

Low calorie drinks does not correlate with a lower percentage of alcohol. This is important to remember, as some may not be aware. Another factor that contributes to having a lower calorie drink would be the serving size of the drink. The standard drink sizes may vary from what we can pour ourselves at home.

Drinks 100 Calories or Less

Many individuals consider the amount of calories in their drinks when choosing beverages. The reasons can be different for each person. The following alcohol calorie chart includes mixed drinks that are 100 calories or less. Please keep in mind the serving size listed for each drink, as this may vary from drink to drink.

As shown below, rum mixed with diet coke has the lowest amount of calories for a single mixed drink. If a person was to have a drink such as rum neat or rum on the rocks, then the amount of calories would be lower than if it was mixed with soda. This is followed closely by the calories in vodka and diet coke. Dark rum and tequila drinks having a higher caloric count when compared to other drink options.

While drinks mixed with diet sodas have a lower calorie count, there are other ingredients in the soda that can decreases its health benefits.

Concerning Signs from Drinking Alcohol

It is important to note the concerning signs for alcohol use. Individuals who drink alcohol regularly or consume larger quantities, are at a higher risk for developing health concerns and an addiction to alcohol.

 

Signs to be aware of would be:

· Drinking more than you initially intended

· Drinking more frequently than in the past

· Missing important family and social events

· Your drinking has a negative impact on your career

· Your drinking has a negative impact on your relationships

· Experiencing hangovers frequently

· Blacking out

If you, or someone you know, can identify with any of the above points, take time to do your research. These do not mean that an individual is an alcoholic, or will become an alcoholic. However, if you are experiencing negative consequences from your drinking it is worth exploring.

Talking to someone you trust could be a place to start. Some choose to talk about their concerns with their Primary Care Physician and hear their feedback. Others feel that attending therapy is a positive choice as this can help address other concerns that they may be facing.
