Lesson From GQ #1: Tonic not light

I always figured, since it was clear and doesn't have a ton of flavor, that I was going with a pretty light drunk when I pounded Vodka-Tonics. But on page 132 of the November GQ, I learned that tonic water is loaded with sugar.

Dangit!

According to thecaloriecounter.com (a terribly designed site—their own navigation is mixed in with their google ads so that it almost looks like there's nothing on the page other than the ads) it breaks down like this:

Mixer	Cals per oz.
Regular Cola	13
Lemon-Lime Soda	12
Tonic Water	10
Ginger Ale	10
Diet Anything	0
Soda Water	0
