APRIL 27, 2026 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

A quiet shift is happening among people who care about how they feel — they're not necessarily drinking less, but they are drinking more thoughtfully. Let’s drink responsibly - the type of drink, and the calories of each drink

As an Italian, red wine was made in my home by my Poppy ( my grandfather ) Dry wines, both red and white, are typically less calorific than their sweeter counterparts. The primary reason lies in the reduced amount of residual sugar present in dry varieties. A standard serving of dry wine can contain anywhere from 100 to 150 calories, depending on the type

Whiskey, when enjoyed in its pure form, is relatively straightforward in terms of caloric content. Without the addition of mixers or syrups, a standard serving of whiskey contains about 70 to 100 calories, depending on the proof. For those that are gluten sensitive or celiac, whiskey is a ‘ No- No ‘ Yet potato vodka and tequila is preferred Speaking of tequila…

Tequila, derived from the blue agave plant, can be a surprisingly low-calorie option when consumed without sugary mixers. A standard shot of tequila typically contains around 60 to 70 calories, which is relatively low compared to many other spirits

So if you want to drink, pick wisely

Until tomorrow…
