Gin tonic vs beer
A gin and tonic has about 158 kcal, a half litre of beer about 215.
The difference
57 kcal
Most of a gin and tonic's calories come from the tonic, not the gin: a normal tonic has as much sugar as a soft drink.
With a light or slimline tonic it drops to about 90 kcal, mostly the gin itself.
A double, or a big balloon glass with a full bottle of tonic, can easily pass the beer.
