Whenever we take care of meals to lose weight or improve the quality of our food we think of the calories of food and often do not take into account drinks, which, of course, those containing alcohol have a high caloric value ( 7kcal per gram of alcohol ). An important fact is that the calories of alcohol are "empty calories" , that is to say that they do not contribute any nutrient and as if it were little decreases the use of fats in the body.
