Alcohol. Apparently 7 calories per gram, second only after fat.
Lots of calories.

The alcohol BY FAR!

A shot of vodka or light rum runs up about 90 calories... A shot of sweeter alcohols, i.e. bailey's, amaretto, can go up to 150 calories per ounce! While coke and other mixers are not great for you, usually you're only pouring a few ounces in so the alcohol definitely has more calories. Diet coke or soda is the best mixer to pinch calories, and tonic is the worst! (about 800 calories per liter or something outrageous.) Margarita and strawberry daquiri type mixes are loaded with calories so they will have way more calories in the larger drinks they make. You can actually look all of this up at calorieking.com

Firstly why are your m8's telling you off, secondly it depends what you drink, the alco pops are full of sugars so I would imagine be full of calories. I do think alcohol has far more calories than mixers, one way to be sure is look it up. If you what to have a mixer, have diet coke in it or slim line tonic. I know vodka is a good drink for that.

Well it depends how you drink your mixed drinks. Sometime if you only use a "splash" of cranberry; it is of course less calories than someone who uses a half glass of cranberry and then 1 or 2 shots of vodka. I drink vodka, but I like it with pineapple juice ... and pineapple is high in calories. If you have a white russian and use cream & Kahlua, those both together has more calories than the vodka. So it depends how you drink, your drink.
Cheers!
