Generally your high-proof drinks will provide the most calories on an ounce-for-ounce basis.

Calories are derived from the grams of fat, protein, carbohydrate and alcohol present in a particular food. The following table provides the calories associated with each food component:

Calories Component

9 Fat

7 Alcohol

4 Protein

4 Carbohydrate

So, if we are looking at just calories derived from alcohol on an ounce-for-ounce basis, then everclear or corn liquor (generally around 95% alcohol by volume) would have the most (about 190 calories).

To compare, an ounce of sugar (or bread) has about 110 calories and an ounce of oil has about 250 calories.

At room temperature, a little over two ounces of sugar may be dissolved in one ounce of water (making 240 calories), so one would think that a high-alcohol and high-sugar drink would have the most calories; however, the more alcohol in the drink, the less sugar can be dissolved, reducing the impact (on both counts).

Vodka. That's why it's called the skinny person's drink. 60 per shot.
