I've been mixing drinks and taking shots...lately, not right now....oh wait...I've had one shot, and one mixed drink...but that's not what I'm questioning.
Does anyone noticed a difference between taking shots and drinking mixed drinks? I can have a white russian, dirty shirley, vodka sunrise, smirnoff ice...and not get a single buzz with only one drink If I take a shot, however, the buzz hits me instantly. Why is that? Is it because with mixed drinks you have one or two shots and the rest is soda or juice? |

Shots are more concentrated with their alcohol content.

From what I saw when I bartended people chug their shots but sip a mixed drink. So you aren't getting such a concentrated hit all at once when you have a mixed drink.

Be careful with shots of tequila. The night does not end well with shots of tequila...

Also, which has more calories: shots or mixed drinks?

Mixed drinks, since you have the calories of the mixer on top of the alcohol... which if they are things like coke or lemonade, will probably have a lot of sugar.

Oh that's right. You're trying to lose weight. All alcohol is bad for losing weight. You should cut it out all together.

Do research on what you're drinking.... Some straight alcohol has like 65 calories an oz, if you're only having a couple... that's really not that many.... Beer Calories, Wine and Alcohol Calorie and Carbs | Get Drunk Not Fat others like some Rums, have a lot more. It totally depends what you're drinking.... and well, obviously how much.
