I was drinking a while claw with my mother-in-law, and reflected that 100 calories was pretty good.

She responded she preferred her normal vodka sodas because they have 0 calories...

Honestly I wouldn't know if I didn't have to take nutrition 101 in college.

Actually who am I kidding if I didn't know I probably would've googled it.

Zero calories? 100 g of 60 % vodka is 370 calories

90 cal a shot is my usual quick math. Clearly not my mother in law's.

There are a lot less calories in a litre of vodka than the alcohol content equivalent of beer. Hard liquor is much lower calorie than beer, but you're not meant to sit around and drink a litre of fucking vodka dude. That's definitely not on "the sources" lol
