All alcoholic drinks contain ethyl alcohol, and, given an equivalent amount of alcohol, each will get you just as drunk. The difference is in the sugar, flavorings, and other chemicals put in by the manufacturer. If you want something simple and low in calories, just drink a decent vodka.
edit: Is this a parody thread? Am I missing something?
no parody whatsoever. Was just wondering about how different types of alcohol affect one's liver and such. (curious about calories too).
here's the deal with liver: one of by buddies had a doctor tell him to either stop drinking entirely or at least to switch from beer that he was drinking a lot of, to vodka, for it would be better for him (I'm pretty sure he was specifically talking about his liver, but not certain). Also I remember some nutritionist saying something along the lines of that although hard liquor has calories, unlike wine and beer calories, they aren't all taken in by the body.
