Booze poll

There has been some discussion on the relative merits and harms of drinking alcohol. This evening, [livejournal.com profile] atreic were talking about the dieting implications of drinking booze, and this prompted me to look some things up on the internet (TM). I'm interested to see what people think is the case, so please don't look anything up before answering the poll - I'll post answers in a day or two.

If it helps, 1g of ethanol contains 7 calories. Diet coke contains 0.5 calories in 100ml, so I've just asked about Tia Maria without any mixers. I appreciate that "draught bitter" and "red wine" cover a range of beverages, but assume a typical draught bitter, and typical red wine...

[Poll #1416236]

ETA: Answers here
