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.
This means that 5 ounces of wine and 1.5 ounces of hard liquor contain the same amount of alcohol, but their nutritional content varies. Five ounces of red wine contain about 125 calories and white wine packs slightly less at about 120 calories. Vodka has approximately 100 calories in 1.5 ounces. Mixing your alcohol with other beverages will alter the number of calories you consume. Six ounces of coke will add about 70 calories to a vodka shot, and lemon-lime soda will add about 75. If you make a wine spritzer with seltzer or club soda in place of half your wine, you can decrease your caloric intake by about 20 to 40 calories.
