Alcohol is a substance rich in nutrients and with a lot of energy, which is mainly deposited in the form of fat in liver cells.
This is exactly why a large amount of alcohol over a long period of time is so harmful to the liver.
Fat from alcohol can cause an inflammatory condition, which can then cause scar tissue to form and reduce normal, vital liver function.
Eventually, so much scar tissue can form in the liver that it can’t maintain normal functions important to health. This condition is called cirrhosis, or a “shrinked liver,” and it can be a life-threatening condition, says Philip Cragg-Knopp, according to TV 2.
On the other hand, there is a huge difference in how many different types of alcohol contain calories.
Below you can see the calorie content of a number of popular alcoholic beverages.
beer
Eating two elderberries a day for a month will correspond to you eating 1.06 kg of margarine in the same period. In total, you’ll take in 7,750 alcohol-related calories during that month.
vintage
Two glasses of Spanish red wine every day for a month is equivalent to consuming 2.15 kilograms of margarine in the same period. This is more than twice the case with beer. In total, you’ll take in 15,624 alcohol-related calories during that month.
skinny bitch
Despite the name, two “skinny bitches” every day for a month is the equivalent of eating 0.65 kilograms of margarine. In total, you’ll take in 4,526 alcohol-related calories during that month.
Mojito
Two cups of Cuban drink with rum and cane sugar every day for a month is equivalent to consuming 1.8 kilograms of margarine in the same period. In total, you’ll take in 13,144 alcohol-related calories during that month.
Pina colada
The drink from Puerto Rico with all of the rum, coconut cream, sugar syrup, and pineapple juice is a delight for the body. Two cups every day for a month is equivalent to eating 3.4 kilograms of margarine in the same period. In total, you’ll take in 24,800 alcohol-related calories over the course of that month, making it the unhealthiest alcoholic beverage of all on this list.
A shot of tequila
If you take two shots of tequila and drink them down every day, that’s the equivalent of eating 0.37 kilograms of margarine in one month. In total, you’ll take in 2,728 alcohol-related calories during that month. Therefore tequila is the healthiest type of alcohol on the list. You may want to remember that the next time you must consume alcohol and want to save as many calories as possible.
