Stupid Question

[Regs]

Which one will packs more calories?

 

[Riverhound777]

Long Island has WAY more, I would guess 3-4 times as much.

Doesn't matter, friends don't let friends drink Miller Lite.

 

[vi edit]

A 12oz Miller Lite is under 100 calories. A shot of 80 proof liquor is 100 calories by itself. Now depending on the size of the long island, the generosity of the bartender, and what they are using for mixers(sour mixes are pure sugar), you could be looking at a 400+ calories.

Whoa. Yeah that sounds bad.

but its not just about calories. its the fact it takes a bunch of Miller lites to get a good buzz but it takes one Long island to get a buzz!

also a bottle of miller is $3 and a long island is $6 so its cheaper to drink long islands. oh and they taste better

Just as long as they are ice cold, I have no problem with them.

Yep. The alcohol is almost all the calories. Well and a little bit for the coke in a LI tea.

That's why light beer has fewer calories - LESS alcohol.

Fixed. One of these babies and I won't need to drink the 10 more beers to get the same effect, nor eat spicy food to get the taste of horse piss out of my mouth.

when I go out to a bar it's usually just 2 long islands and I'm set for the night. Cheap, and aside from the odd shot or so with friends I know I'm not going to go past my limits.
