Sure six shots are 550 calories. But who drinks six shots of gin?

You need to also include all the mixers as well and they're usually all sugar

Haha, I'm from almost-eastern-europe, so pretty much all drinkers I know. (Actually "Borovička" is the most popular. It is not gin, but somewhat similar to gin.)

But I mean, when someone is trying to reduce calorie intake, they don't consume whatever they want to. They need to make some concessions. So instead of a fancy cocktail or a bottle of wine, you can drink some vodka (provided getting intoxicated is the goal).

Heh, Borovička is the most amazing thing ever. I need to find a source stateside :-)

For a G&T, you can get slimline tonic which tastes quite good.
