The fact that wine and beer bottles are exempt from those Nutrition Facts labels is utter nonsense.

If people knew how much sugar and calories are in their drink maybe they would think twice

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.
