Also, calories from beverages don't effect your appetite like solid food

Posted by Stewie (aka whysoserious) Feb 26 '09, 16:29

You can essentially drink a 500 calorie super big gulp and it won't make any difference when you get hungry compared to never having had it at all.

There was some study about this. Results were surprising in that they found the body interpreted a food like tomato soup as though it was a solid food, not like the beverages.

    - If alcohol is the reason a person is overweight they've got bigger issues... - Stewie Feb 26, 16:41 4
      - Alcohol on top of an otherwise balanced diet can be the cause of weight gain. Alcohol is completely empty calories. -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 16:52 3
        
        True, regular soda is worse from a pure calorie perspective though -- nm - Stewie Feb 26, 17:01
        
        You say "empty", I say "deliciously awesome with no non-caloric alternative" -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 16:55 1
        
        That's why you figure alcohol into a balanced diet. :-P -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 17:06
