Såvidt meg kjent kan ikke kroppen benytte energien i alkohol noe spesielt, det er vel junk fooden og all maten som går til alkoholen som fører til vektoppgangen - forbrenning av næringsstoff er vel rimelig på stopp.

6. These are standard drink sizes. Of course, five ounces of a dessert wine contains more alcohol, as does a higher content beer or ale, or a distilled spirit higher thatn the typical 80 proof. The equivalent sizes for these drinks would differ from those of standard druinks, a fact that drinkers should keep in mind. Carrol, C. R. Drugs in Modern Society. Boston, Massachusetts: McGraw-Hill, 2000, p. 77. Because standard drinks are equivalent in alcohol content, it is misleading to refer to spirits as "hard liquor," which implies that drinking distilled spirits leads more quickly or easily to intoxication than other alcohol beverages.
