well young one..... in the average pint of beer we are talking 2 units of alceehol..... and about 200 Kcals in a shot (e.g. vodka) there is 1 unit of alceehol and approx 50 Kcals....... in beer ther is lots of carbs........ in spirits, i.e. vodka there is none so really I'd say if you dont want to get fat, get yersel on a high protien/low carb atkins diet and drink lots and lots of spirits and get pished...... by the way, mines a pint of budweiser or two followed by a few bottles of corona(with a lime) then a pitcher of red bull and vodka, then vodka and orange and orange reef... then a sizzlers.... oh god....
