Calories from ethanol don't really work like other calories. The body is incredibly inefficient at using or storing calories from Ethanol. This is why most heavy drinkers aren't incredibly obese.
- rubber_duck 7y agoThis is what I don't get with regards to calorie labels. As far as I can tell they either burn stuff to see how much energy gets released or count up macro nutrients and multiply by x calories. But if you pay attention it should be obvious that you don't digest all foods equally well and I would say the variance can be on the order of 20-30%. Do they account for this when labeling food ?
