The name of the site is Eat this much ;)
But indeed, for the site to plan a person’s total caloric intake, it really should include popular liquids (it does plan shakes and smoothies).
Coffee and tea contain very little calories, but once you add milk and sugar (including syrups), it really adds up fast. Sodas and energy drinks are packed with calories.
If you like to drink, alcoholic beverages really should be accounted for. One gram of pure alcohol contains 7 kcalories. A 12 oz beer contains about 150 kcalories.[1]

- sciurus 13y ago"A 12 oz beer contains about 300 kcalories." That's an exaggeration. Here are a few mainstream beers I looked up on that site- Sam Adams Boston Lager: 175, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: 175, PBR: 144, Guinness Draught: 128
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoYou’re right, thanks. Fixed. It does mean that if you drink 5 pints during a night on the town, you ingest 1100 kcalories. For me, that would mean half of my recommended daily caloric intake.
- eru 13y agoThere's a saying in German that five beers (pints) are a meal. But you have to have a sixth beer, because you can't have a meal without a beer.
- hluska 13y agoI lived with a German guy while he was working on his PhD - this statement brought back many wonderful memories!! Thanks for that - I'm going to have to call him and see if he wants to go out for dinner!!! :)
- pmh 13y agoIf you're a regular craft beer drinker, the rule of thumb I use for a 12oz is 30 calories per % abv (or 40 calories for a pint).
