It's hard to know how many calories you're consuming in a cocktail (or straight shots) since liquor brands don't list nutrition information on their bottle.
We teamed up with weight loss app Lose It! to figure out how many calories are in one shot of popular liquors.
Most liquors have close to 100 calories per shot.
The calories you consume from drinks might not be as obvious as the calories you consume from food, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
In fact, just one shot of most popular liquors is around 100 calories; drink four cocktails in one night and that puts you pretty close to a full meal.
It's hard to know just how much you're consuming, though, since most hard alcohol brands don't list nutrition information on the bottle.
That's why we teamed up with weight loss app Lose It! to figure out just how many calories your bar tab translates to.
