talk about serving poison you said your son is a bartender. The Most Fattening Cocktails After a night of drinking cocktails, most people will not only wake up the next morning with a screaming hangover, they’ll wake up fatter too. That’s because the average serving of one ounce of 80-proof alcohol contains about 90 calories. And that’s before mixers are added. While many people who spend hours on treadmills or yoga mats may smugly eschew dessert or ban butter from their diets, often they will happily consume a cocktail–or three–without giving it a second thought. But they do so at considerable peril to their waistlines. A Pina Colada, for example, has more calories than a Big Mac. That could spoil Happy Hour on your next trip to Mexico. Of all the evils of alcohol, weight gain is probably the least discussed. To be sure, there are many far worse results of alcohol abuse, but many people are still ignorant of the danger booze poses to their pant size. We don’t mean that the occasional cocktail will instantly result in a Brobdingnagian beer belly, but you shouldn’t be fooled just because these drinks taste light and fruity. Not only do spirits, such as vodka, gin, rum and whiskey, contain a higher percentage of calories than beer and wine (Just how much? Click here to find out.), but if you add fruit juice, syrups and sodas to the mix–for example, orange juice has 56 calories per serving and Coca-Cola has 105 calories per eight fluid ounces–the calorie count keeps growing. And don’t think that drinking fewer cocktails with a bigger kick will solve that problem: The higher the proof, the greater the calories. While most alcohol doesn’t contain actual fat, its calories tend to be stored in the abdomen. “It’s hard for the body to process and eliminate many alcohols at one time, and sugar makes us fat,” says Michael George, a fitness expert and author of Body Express Makeover (and a nutritionist from ABC’s reality seriesExtreme Body Makeover).
