Experiencing flatulence on a regular basis can be both embarrassing and painful. Not only do you have to deal with the anxiety of having gas in public, but also gas, belching and bloating sometimes cause serious discomfort. Any number of things can cause gas, from chronic diseases to improper food combining.
When it comes to fizzy alcoholic drinks, hard apple cider isn't the lowest-calorie choice. Hard apple cider varies in calories, depending upon the brand, with many of these ciders containing between 140 and 210 calories in each 12-ounce bottle. In comparison, a 12-ounce bottle of regular beer has about 145 calories, and the same amount of stout has about 190 calories.
The calories hiding in each standard drink can vary depending on beverage choice and the added ingredients. A standard drink is any drink that contains about 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol, according to the National Institutes of Health. Twelve ounces of regular beer, 5 oz. of wine and a 1.5-oz. shot of 80-proof hard liquor contain approximately the same amount of alcohol and each counts as a single standard drink. A 12 oz. serving of the regular, full malt version is 150 calories, whereas light beers hold around 116 calories.
