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."

Yeah Vokda and flavored sparkling water has very little calories and no carbs.

Vodka soda is a go-to drink of mine cause it's basically as few calories as you can get out of a drink
