Spirits on their own or with a zero mixer are the lightest, which is why a vodka soda tops so many lists.

Prosecco and champagne come next. Beer and cocktails climb fast, mostly because the glass is bigger and the mixers have sugar.

If you want a night out that is easier on the day, pick from the top, and count the snacks too, they often add more than the drinks.
