1.5 ounce shot of vodka (or other liquor i.e. tequila, rum) at 80 proof has 100 calories. At 100 proof a shot has 124 calories. 80 proof vodka contains 40% alcohol. 1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories (7 calories per gram) 1 shot is about 45 milliliters by volume. A shot of 80 proof vodka would consist of 18 milliliters of alcohol (40%) and 27 milliliters of water (60%) 1 ml of alcohol weighs .8 grams. 1 shot would contain about 14.4 grams of alcohol (18 X 0.8) by weight. 14.4 grams X 7 calories per gram =100.8 calories in one shot of 80 proof vodka.
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.
