Nutrition Facts for 45 Popular Alcoholic Drinks

Alcohol has numerous potential health drawbacks, and health organizations recommend either avoiding or limiting its consumption (1, 2).

However, a significant proportion of the population chooses to drink alcohol, often without knowing its nutritional properties.

For this reason, this article provides the nutrition facts for 45 popular alcoholic beverages.

The calorie, carbohydrate, fat, protein, and sodium content of each drink is listed. If data for a particular nutrient is unavailable, a dash (‘-‘) symbol is used.

Unless otherwise stated, the nutritional data in this article is sourced from the respected NCC Food and Nutrient Database, accessed via Cronometer (3, 4).

Note: The precise ingredients and alcohol content of beverages can vary. For branded drinks, the nutritional values provided are specific to the particular brand. For non-branded drinks included in this guide, the nutritional values represent typical averages.
