Which alcoholic beverages are lowest in calories?
All alcohol contains calories (7 calories per gram to be exact), so you won't find any truly low cal alcoholic beverages. That said, you'll get fewer calories in drinks like wine, straight liquor, or liquor mixed with diet or club soda, as these drinks do not contain extra caloric ingredients. You'll also get fewer calories in drinks with a lower alcohol content, like light beer.
