Do Flavors Add More Calories in Vodka?

It’s an interesting question: “do flavors add calories in vodka?”

The answer appears to be that they add very few calories, perhaps only 5 calories to the 65 to 80 calories in the vodka (depending on the proof of the vodka).

But, what is a flavor? Do you mean just a bit of flavoring essence or do you mean a mixer?

Flavoring essence has very few calories (and, in my opinion, very little real flavor). But mixers tend to be high in calories.

So, if you’re a vodka lover trying to lose weight, I guess one solution is to drink flavored vodka with ice and no mixer.

Do be careful if you go this route because you will have to drink MUCH more slowly than your drinking companions or be prepared to leave the party early.

Sorry, but there really is no easy answer to the drink and lose weight equation. If you want to lose weight you just have to ingest fewer calories and burn more.

Temptation is the battle ground. You need loads of willpower to lose weight. If you don’t have the willpower at the moment you need to understand yourself better so that you can find the motivation to help yourself.
