Alcohol calories: how to track drinks in your food diary
Alcohol calories add up fast: the ethanol itself plus sugary mixers and late-night food decisions. People searching wine calories or beer calories often underestimate pours.
Use standard drink estimates
Until you measure, assume restaurant pours are heavier than at-home glasses. Log rounded estimates in your calorie app—consistency beats imaginary precision.
Track the whole night
Drinking often couples with extra snacks. A truthful food log captures the full story for Monday review.
Safety
If alcohol feels out of control, seek professional support—tracking alone is not treatment.
