The UK Chief Medical Officers' (CMO) low risk drinking guidelines recommend that it’s safest for both men and women to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread over three or more days with several drink-free days, and no bingeing. So, drinking more than seven double measures of vodka in a week would put you above the UK low risk drinking guidelines.

AlisonHBurns Thanks Alison. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas xx http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1392855600/arkwrights_still__2__normal.jpg WhiskyAndWines 2022-12-19 18:55:56 A typical-strength single (25ml) measure of vodka will have 1 unit of alcohol in it. And if your drink has a double measure, that means double the amount of alcohol (and calories). You can work out how many units of alcohol there are in any drink by multiplying the size of the serving (in ml) by its ABV percentage, and dividing the result by 1,000. It’s a myth that drinks featuring clear spirits are low in calories. Alcohol contains around seven calories a gram - almost as many as pure fat. 2 So, because vodka has a high alcohol content, it is high in calories too.

For a drink to be sold as vodka in the UK, it has to be at least 37.5% Alcohol By Volume (ABV). 1 That means 37.5% of the drink is pure alcohol. We will reopen at 10am on Tuesday 10th January 2023 for what will be the final week that the shop is open. Just like in other alcoholic drinks, these are ‘empty calories’ with no nutritional value, so don’t benefit your body in any way.

In fact, you might be surprised to hear that a double vodka and cola made with a 50ml measure of vodka contains around 168 calories. 3 Even switching to a diet mixer will still mean a high calorie drink – a double vodka and diet cola is estimated to have 108 calories. 4 The following tables provide a summary of the Volume units (both Fluid Volume units and Cubic Volume units) within their respective measurement systems. Fluid Volume Units UnitBut the alcoholic strength of vodka is often higher – many widely bought vodka brands are 40% ABV or above, and some can be even stronger. Note: There is a difference between US Customary Units and the Imperial System for volume conversions. The US gallon contains 128 US fluid ounces, whereas the Imperial gallon contains 160 Imperial fluid ounces. Cubic Volume Units Unit leejay2876 Great choice of whisky to celebrate with Leejay!

What’s more, the calories people consume through alcohol tend to be additional to the calories they consume in the rest of their diet, rather than a replacement. That means you could be having lots of extra calories ‘passively’, or without thinking about it, which can lead to weight gain. 5 HeartWhisky Wow! How fabulous.
