Too Much Vodka
Ever few days/weeks/months, we get the following question : “How much vodka is too much vodka ?“. Or “How much vodka do I need to drink to be drunk?”. And this is like asking “how long is a piece of string”, various factors need to be taken into account when thinking about how much alcohol is recommended. Some of the factors that have an influence on how you react to the amount of Vodka you drink are :
- Weight (heavier people can drink more alcohol)
- Sex (men usually can process alcohol faster than women)
- Age (older people, who have consumed alcohol over a longer period of time, should be able to drink more)
- Speed (Drinking over a short period of time will have great effect than drinking slowly)
- Level of Tiredness (It has been proven that, you will become more drunk if you need to catch up on your sleep)
- Hunger (If you have recently eaten you will take longer to get to get intoxicated with vodka)
So if you are a light female under 20 who likes to drink fast and not eat and sleep, then you should be careful drinking vodka.
How many calories in a shot of Vodka ?
One shot of vodka (1.5 ounces) contains about 90 calories. Typically in a bar you will get the best part of 2 oz . and this would be around 120 calories. Often Vodka has been recommended for people who want to loose weight, because of the low calorific value. When compared to beer, and taking into account the volume and the strength of the alcohol, vodka is a good trade off for the amount of alcohol to calories. Of course if you are serious about loosing weight then you should probably consider holding off on alcohol for the period of your diet.
