Red Wine vs Beer

[Thomas]

Based on the above list, I deduce that, relative to alcohol by volume, beer provides more calories than wine--the alcohol (in grams) in 12 oz. of beer equals close to the alcohol in 4 oz. of wine. Most of the beers are well above most of the wines in calories to alcohol grams.

I was sad to see Madeira and Port so high, but I already knew that, which is why I drink them less these days. One other factor in the calorie game is: if you don't use them you get to keep them, seemingly forever!

Those empty calories refer to, I think, calories with little or no nutritional value. But they are calories that create beautiful rubber tires, if you get my drift...
