To burn it off
Vodka is alcohol and water. Every one of its 88 kcal comes from the alcohol, there's no sugar in it.
The mixer is where it changes. A vodka with full sugar cola or an energy drink can end up costing more than the vodka itself.
Four shots over a night out is 352 kcal before any mixers. Then there's the chips on the way home.
Tips
- 1Mix it with soda water and lime, or a diet mixer.
- 2Have a glass of water between drinks.
- 3Go for a single, not a double, when you order.
Where it comes from
Russia and Poland both claim vodka, and nobody knows for sure who made it first. Britannica notes that a liquor called vodka was present in Russia in the 14th century, and some historians think it is older still. The name is a diminutive of voda, the Russian word for water, so it means little water. It only spread widely in the US and Western Europe after World War II.
