So, when you drink a 80-proof shot, that's 40% alchohol, or as many calories as a 35% pure fat drink.
It also has 75% more calories than sugar. So, imagine the drink was 70% sugar and 30% water.

Damn, no gravy shooters for me tonight.
If you're gonna drink and diet, straight hard liquor is the way to go, there's no carbs in Vodka (could be a good way for Smirnoff to hit the Atkins demographic). You should still keep your drinking to a minimum though.
