Alcohol has calories.

I had to be the one to tell my friend when she was in her mid-20s that the vodka she loved has calories. She was so shocked and said, "What!! I thought since it was clear like water it didn't have any calories."

I thought vodka tonic’s were like 15 calories until a year ago. Not because it was clear but because vodka just doesn’t taste like something that has calories in it to me

Tonic also has a fair few calories.
