It's still empty calories though. Is it simply the low effieciency burning the liver provides that cause you to gain weight or does your metabolism divert to the easiest burning substance?
Because alcohol in itself raises your internal temperature so surely you would lose weight drinking alcohol? Or am I missing something?
>so surely you would lose weight drinking alcohol?
I always end up loosing weight after a weekend of fairly heavy drinking. But my lifts stay pretty much the same. So checks out for me at least.
Same, alcohol make some shit loads the next day. I don't know if alcohol calories go in one way and come out the other as opposed to normal food calories actually being absorbed.

Because the fermented sugars (the most calorie dense part) of hundreds of potatoes can be isolated and packaged into bottle, thanks to modern distillation.
A pint of olive oil is like 50000 kcals.
But why exactly does rotten wheat have such a substantial, positive in the moment, effect upon us.
Bats, birds and elephants all seek alcohol, so what makes that such a wantable feature upon life?
If a litre of vodka is 2070 calories and the average walk burns 50cal/kilometer, could you drink a bottle of vodka a day and walk 24km a day and not see any negative effects?
I've never experienced a "hangover".
Apparently people feel sick or something? A litre of vodka seems a reasonable amount. You feel happier when drinking then you sleep an hour or two over, then you're hungry in the morning.
Is that a hangover?
I understand the mechanics, I just don't understand the cause.
I drink a litre every other day. I experience no negative effects aside from weight gain.
Either drinking no water or eating nothing after getting drunk will cause a hangover most times. Also depends what you drink. Spirits (especially vodka) are less prone to hangovers than if you drink wine in my experience
Like half a liter or day or straight liter and one day off?
You probably just don’t know what it feels like not to be hungover

As in Sunday night I drink a litre, monday I get up at 9:30 and go for a walk, then wednesday I drink a litre and wake up at 9:30 and go for a walk, then saturday I drink a litre and get up for walk.
i always thought the caloric value of alcohol is only usable by the liver
i.e. in small amounts it acts like any calories, but in larger amounts your liver shits the bed and the calories don't count, or you get fatty liver
from my understanding, alcohol in its metabolic process is converted into acetic acid, and acetic acid can be peed out. in other words, if there's too much acetic acid (too much alcohol being metabolized at once) it'll be peed before it can be converted into more usable energy. so you're kind of right, but I think it's more the kidneys fault than the liver
Smirnoff is made from corn, a lot of vodka is made from grain. Unlike other liquors vodka isn’t required to be made from a certain ingredient. Vodka is vodka because it’s distilled to 95% ABV for purity and then deproofed to 40% ABV or whatever for sale. You could make vodka out of donuts if you wanted to.
As far as I'm aware, vodka, legally, has to have no distinguishing character or flavour.
From my understanding this was a law introduced to stop vodka from marketing itself as "the white whiskey".
So how do companies get around selling raspberry and vanilla vodka?
alcohol is its own macronutrient with 7cal/g. That's almost like drinking fat. Consider that people regularly drink 1/4, maybe 1/2 of this on each night a weekend. Now take that image in your mind and replace the bottle of vodka with a bottle of canola oil
like i know homie
Alcohol burns pretty well.

No, I mean the caloric content is probably measured by burning anhydrous alcohol and then scaled to the ABW of the vodka.

It’s water weight brainlets
its concentrated
like if you drank a bottle of 40% milk
>40% milk
Imagine the gains
It exists. It ia called heavy cream.
so we combine the heavy cream with some vodka (and maybe some kahlua) for ultimate gains drink?
white russians for everyone!
Last time I drank white russians I woke up crashed into a telephone pole.
Greentext plz
If you budgeted it into you routine, then why not?
carbs are 4cal/g
fats are 9cal/g
proteins are 4cal/g
alcohol is 7cal/g
your mistake here is treating it like water just because it's a clear liquid
Its still like 60% water mind you anon
300ml x 7 = 2100

You WILL drink the olive oil.
>not knowing this is made from non-food-grade (i.e. rotten) wheat
>thinks he knows it all, but is still wrong
It's made from corn
You must be lots of fun at parties

>everyday
yeah dont think there would be many negative effects

dry mouth, moving makes you feel nauseous, bright lights suck, headache

You are probably one of those genetic freaks. Andrew Huberman talked about something like this the last time he was on Joe Rogan
