Hard seltzer is the best thing ever!

Hard selter at 5% ABV has about 100 calories per 12 fl oz (0.35 L). It's decent. I drank too much of it during the pandemic & don't want it much now.

Can't be very hard at 20 cal per 500 ml. That amounts to 3 g of alcohol. A 1.5 oz shot has 14 g alcohol.

You'll be spending more time in the bathroom than at the party.

It's only 10 am, op.

Alcoholic, much?

R4 Dear, yours is not the only time zone in the world.

R4 It's almost 8 pm where I am.

R2 4.7 % alcohol in 500 ml.

Not enough alcohol in it

OP, are you a calorie queen? In addition to being a wallflower?

R8 I don't want much alcohol. I want enough to be tipsy but not to be drunk. I get sick if I drink too much.

You all should know by now the excessive use of "Brilliant" is usually a British thing.

I don't trust your calorie calculations, but I agree that they are refreshing.

My fave the past year is lower-alcohol, no sugar wine. 9% alcohol (25% less than 12-13% regular wine), 0-1g of sugar, and 85 calories. The whole bottle is less than 400 calories. Unfortunately, you can never find it in bars or restaurants.

Just buy your own seltzer water and pour in a half a jigger of Everclear.

It’s not 20 calories unless it’s N.A., but you do you.

R11

Then the calorie count is wrong. Because alcohol has 7 kcal per gram. 500 ml of 4.7% alcoholic whatever you claim to be drinking would have 23.5 ml alcohol by volume, which weighs 18.4 g, and is 128.8 kcal from the alcohol alone.

It was 17h36 UTC when you posted your comment at R6. The only places where it would be almost "8 pm" would be UTC+2. You must be in a country with poor beverage labeling rules.

R15 It is VERY strict in Norway. I believe what it says. If it says 28 calories, then it is.

No - it's PER 100ml. It's in 375ml cans. Nobody is drinking 100ml cans of hard seltzer - or the equivalent of 3 oz imperial.

It's a trick to reduce calorie content. There would be 3.75 servings in a 375ml can - so it's 90+ calories, like we all said.

Oh no, it’s too fattening!

R17 You're right. Sorry. I don't drink very often.

R11 “ never find it”

And “it” is called?

R15 You tried

R20 - there's no specific 'it' there are several brands of lower alcohol, zero sugar wine available at stores. At least in SoCal. Many by larger known wine brands like Chateau Ste Michelle.

I've only had white claw and it tasted incredibly chalky. I would rather have a lacroix and a shot of room temperature, bottom shelf vodka than drink another one of those

R11, where? What is the name of the wine?

Another dumbass OP on DL who cant do math and has shit reading skills.

r22 And a specific example would be?

Dumbest thread ever.

I don't give a shit if it has a lot of calories. It still tastes very good. I made a mistake. I thought it had less than it does, but it's still not too bad though. It has less than beer.

But don’t the Brit’s spell liter “litre?’

Is OP a poser or a bad speller?

Yoi have to drink about 50 to get any kind of buzz. No thanks. Vodka and diet soda is my go to for slim drinking

Friend of mine drinks it I call it "lady waters" both to piss him off and because I can't imagine anyone other than an alcoholic housewife wanting to drink it regularly.

R31 - well that's stupid - no different alcohol-wise from a beer except less carbs and calories. I bet he thinks his dank-tasting local IPA is the height of beer culture as well. Sounds like a douche.

r32 I hope you're able to go outside today at some point, and get some fresh air.

R30 I'm not an alcoholic, so no. I don't need to drink 30 to get a buzz. I felt it after like 4 or 5.

R33 - go Live Love Laugh yourself.

One word: ZIMA

R35 You’re very easily triggered.

R37 - and you post nothing of importance than trollery and snide comments. You need to touch grass.

[quote] R31] - well that's stupid - no different alcohol-wise from a beer except less carbs and calories.

That may be true for bad beer that people drink simply to get buzzed, but plenty of people drink good beers for the flavor. And to get buzzed. Same for wine, whiskey and cocktails.

R34 I dont believe I'm one either but some people have a higher threshold. If I drunk 4 or 5 of chalky hard seltzer I'd be peeing and burping and not enjoying my buzz at all. To each his own.

Couldn’t have been that good of party if you were posting here.
