Question

Energy value per gram of alcohol is

• A. $4kcal$
• B. $4.3kcal$
• C. $9.3kcal$
• D. $7.1kcal$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$7.1kcal$

Just like any food or drink, alcoholic drinks contain energy or calories. There are 7 calories per gram of alcohol (29kJ). A 'standard' alcoholic drink or 'unit' contains 8 grams of alcohol, which is equal to 56 calories from the alcohol alone.

So, the correct answer is '7.1 kcal'.
