Vodka is not more fattening than red wine. Alcohol contains calories, but drinking alcohol doesn't lead to weight gain, according to extensive medical research, and some studies report a small reduction in weight among women who drink alcohol.
The reason that alcohol doesn't necessarily increase weight is unclear, but research suggests that alcohol energy is not efficiently used. Alcohol also appears to increase metabolic rate significantly, thus causing more calories to be burned rather than stored in the body as fat. Other research has found that the consumption of sugar decreases as the consumption of alcohol increases.
Whatever the reasons, the consumption of alcohol is not associated with weight gain and is sometimes associated with weight loss in women. The medical evidence of this is based on a large number of studies of thousands of people around the world. Some of these studies are very large; one involved nearly 80,000 and another included 140,000 subjects.
i doubt it!
Calories is basically energy (for you to burn :) Alcohol has relatively much energy Half of the sugar ends up in ethanol so image half the weight (100% alcohol) in sugar. meaning.. if Vodka Martini is mainly vodka then there is more alcohol than in wine and consequently also more calories ... BUT only if it is a dry wine. If the wine is Sweet then there is suger as well and more calories again... and it could be even.
Yes, vodka typically has a higher alcohol content than wine. Vodka usually contains around 40 alcohol by volume, while wine typically ranges from 9-16 alcohol by volume.
Yes, vodka typically contains less sugar than wine. Vodka is a distilled spirit made from grains or potatoes, which do not contain sugar. Wine, on the other hand, is made from fermented grapes, which naturally contain sugar.
wine is more fancy and posh
No, not necessarily. The primary (though not only) factor in determining the calorie content of wine is the alcohol content. Higher alcohol wines are in most cases higher calorie wines.
Wine isn't fattening although it contains calories (about the same number as in grape juice).
It all depends, wine is more socially acceptable so it might be easier to develop an addiction to it. However, if you "drink to get drunk" it would be easier to become addicted to a hard liquor like whiskey or vodka.
A glass of wine contains about 3.5 carbs whereas a serving of vodka or other distilled spirit such as whiskey, gin, rum, tequila, etc. contains no carbs or sugar of any kind.
Wine typically contains a higher amount of sugar compared to vodka.
No
A shot of tequila and a glass of wine contain the same quantity of absolute alcohol, which is .06 oz. The same is true for a beer.
