Most people enjoy a shot of their favorite whiskey in a night out or just a glass of whiskey after dinner as a digestif. Whichever it is for you, might this be the reason you are gaining a few extra pounds? Does whiskey make you fat? Let&#8217;s try to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Whiskey_Make_You_Fat\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Whiskey\"><\/span><b>What Is Whiskey?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whiskey is a grain alcohol that is consumed all over the globe. This distilled alcoholic drink is made by fermentation of different grain mash types such as wheat, barley, maize, rye, and buckwheat. The grain used to make the whiskey, the method of fermentation, the storage location, the container it is stored in, and the amount of time it is stored determines the whiskey\u2019s taste (flavor) and color (appearance). It is for this reason that various whiskeys appear and taste different. For example, Jack Daniels tastes different from Jameson or Johnny Walker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although whiskey is consumed all over the world, it traces its roots to medieval Scotland and Ireland. The name whiskey roughly translates to &#8220;water of life&#8221; in Gaelic. As we\u2019ve mentioned before, whiskey comes in different variants, all based on their production, and that\u2019s why you have drinks like single malt, scotch range, rye, and bourbon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking whiskey comes with both benefits and risks. In order to enjoy more of the benefits than the risks, scientists and health experts across the globe recommend drinking whiskey in small amounts or moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-alcohol-make-you-retain-water\/\">Does Alcohol Make You Retain Water: Here\u2019s What Causes A Puffy Face The Morning After<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Whiskey_Make_You_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38036 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"does whiskey make you fat\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Whisky_Good_For_You\"><\/span><b>Is Whisky Good For You?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, drinking whiskey in moderation comes with numerous benefits, and hence it is wise to keep the intake to small amounts. With that said, here are some potential benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-wine-make-you-fat\/\">drinking<\/a> whiskey:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lowers_Risk_Of_Dementia\"><\/span><b>Lowers Risk Of Dementia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dementia is a collective term that describes various symptoms of cognitive declines, such as forgetfulness. Taking whiskey in moderation shows to help lower the risk of dementia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study on the alcohol consumption and risk of dementia in older adults was done (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12636463\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The study grouped the participants into 4 different groups. One group had people who took less than 1 alcoholic drink every week, the second group had people who took 1-6 alcoholic drinks every week, the third group had people who took 7-13 alcoholic beverages weekly, and the last group had people who took 14 or more drinks weekly. The individuals used for the study were 65 years and older as they are at a higher risk of dementia. The participants did an MRI scan of their brains. The study aimed to see the odds of dementia, ascertained by detailed neurological and neuropsychological examinations according to average alcohol consumption (liquor [whiskey], wine, and beer).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results showed that estimated odds of getting dementia for the group of people who took less than 1 alcoholic beverage every week was 0.65 (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12636463\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The people in the second group who took 1-6 alcoholic beverages were estimated at 0.46, people in the third group were estimated at 0.69 and. People who took 14 drinks or more weekly received estimated odds of 1.22 (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12636463\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the results, one can conclude that moderate consumption of whiskey, which is 1-6 alcoholic beverages weekly, reduced the risk of dementia compared to heavy consumption of whiskey, which showed greater odds of dementia (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12636463\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). It is important to know that 1 alcoholic drink is equivalent to 14g of alcohol at baseline. We don\u2019t want you taking 1-6 bottles of whiskey weekly and saying you are drinking in moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-select-gender\">\n        <div class=\"ad-select-gender-wrapper\">\n            <img class=\"ad-select-gender-image\" alt=\"MaleImage\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/MaleImage.webp\">\n    \n            <div class=\"ad-select-gender-text mobile-hide\">\n                <div class=\"ad-select-gender-desc\">Get your <span class=\"green f-600\">personal plan<\/span> according to your age and BMI<\/div>\n                <div class=\"ad-select-gender-title f-600\">\n                    Select your gender\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Male<\/a>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Female<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    \n            <img class=\"ad-select-gender-image\" alt=\"FemaleImage\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/FemaleImage.webp\">\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-select-gender-text desktop-hide mobile-block\">\n          <div class=\"ad-select-gender-desc\">Get your <span class=\"green f-600\">personal plan<\/span> according to your age and BMI<\/div>\n          <div class=\"ad-select-gender-title f-600\">\n            Select your gender\n          <\/div>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Male<\/a>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Shortcod2\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\" target=\"_blank\">Female<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Whiskey_Make_You_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38035 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"does whiskey make you fat\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helps_With_Colds\"><\/span><b>Helps With Colds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody likes colds as they make life unbearable; the constant sneezing, blowing your nose, coughing, and the general discomfort associated with them. Having colds was made even worse by the pandemic as people think you have COVID-19 every time you cough or sneeze in a public place. Well, whiskey helps with the relief of some of the cold symptoms. You may ask how. If you have a cold and take whiskey, it helps temporarily widen your blood vessels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/felipeschrieberg\/2017\/06\/30\/5-reasons-drinking-whisky-is-healthy-for-you\/?sh=65172d646ed5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

There are three types of diabetes; type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. People with diabetes need to limit their sugar consumption, and hence things like candies and chocolates are consumed with moderation. Whiskey works for people with diabetes since it has no sugar. One ounce of whiskey, which approximately has 70 calories, contains no carbohydrates (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/429691-does-drinking-hard-alcohol-help-you-lose-weight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whiskey does not have sugar because it gets all its calories from alcohol. This only applies to plain whiskey. If you make a cocktail out of the whiskey, you are likely to add sweeteners like brown sugar, and these sweeteners have sugar in them. Thus, the lack of sugar in whiskey makes it a viable drink for people with diabetes. If you have diabetes, before you take whiskey, it would be wise to consult a doctor or dietitian first so that you can know if it is okay for you to take whiskey and how much you should take. As we said earlier, you can only enjoy the benefits of whiskey if you drink in moderation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decreases_The_Risk_Of_Cardiovascular_Conditions\"><\/span><b>Decreases The Risk Of Cardiovascular Conditions\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/is-sweet-red-wine-good-for-you\/\">consumption of alcohol<\/a> is said to potentially reduce the risk of various cardiovascular conditions like heart failure. Some researchers found this to be true after they examined 14,629 individuals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/eurheartj\/article\/36\/15\/939\/2293194#abstract-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Of the tested individuals, 42% were abstainers, 19% were former drinkers, 25% reported to be taking up to 7 alcoholic beverages in a week, 8% reported to be taking somewhere between 7 to 14 drinks a week, 3% reported to be taking between 14 to 21 drinks in a week, and yet another 3% reported to be taking more than 21 drinks in a week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study proved the people taking up to 7 drinks a week had a reduced risk of heart failure relative to abstainers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/eurheartj\/article\/36\/15\/939\/2293194#abstract-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

If you read on all alcohol bottles, you will see a warning against drinking and driving or operating heavy machinery. This is because alcohol impairs your judgment; hence you can\u2019t see things as they really are. You may see a car that is 5 meters away as being 15 meters away. Apart from affecting your judgment, alcohol is likely to make you doze off, which can also cause accidents on the road. It is always advisable to leave your vehicle at home if you are going for a night of drinking with your friends or if you went in your car, it is better to leave your car there and call a taxi to take you home than to drive and end up causing an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liver_Cirrhosis\"><\/span><b>Liver Cirrhosis<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic alcohol consumption is known to cause liver cirrhosis.

Whiskey promotes <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/eating-too-much-healthy-food\/\">weight gain<\/a> in that it allows the consumption of empty calories. Empty calories are calories that have little or no benefit to the body. As we said earlier, 35 milliliters of whiskey contains 72 calories. If your daily intake is 1,400 calories, if you take 35 milliliters of whiskey, you\u2019ve just added 70 empty calories to your daily calorie intake. Let\u2019s be honest, there is no way you can just take 35 milliliters of alcohol, and hence the more you take, the more empty calories in your body and hence <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/homemade-protein-shake-for-weight-gain\/\">weight gain<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from empty calories, whiskey promotes appetite and increases hunger. A study was done on mice that proves this to be true, and the same is said to be true to humans according to the scientists who carried out the study (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/health-38562048#:~:text=Alcohol%20switches%20the%20brain%20into,body%20to%20eat%20more%20food.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The mice that were tested in the study were given large amounts of alcohol for three days. It was seen that alcohol increased the activity in the neurons that are fired when your body experiences starvation. They also ate more than they would normally consume (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/health-38562048#:~:text=Alcohol%20switches%20the%20brain%20into,body%20to%20eat%20more%20food.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcohol increases your appetite, and you find yourself eating more than you would normally do. This results in you taking in more calories than you normally would, resulting in weight gain. It goes without saying, when you are drunk, you don\u2019t have time to make a healthy meal with the necessary vegetables and all other foods that are good for your body. You\u2019ll find yourself ordering fast foods and buying junk food, and all these help deter weight loss as they contain unhealthy fats and added sugars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Whiskey_Promotes_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>How Whiskey Promotes Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people would like to continue drinking even though they are on a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/4-day-workout-routine-for-weight-loss\/\">diet<\/a>. If you fall into this group of people, then drinking whiskey is the way to go. Whiskey helps with weight loss from the fact that it contains zero fats, zero carbohydrates, and zero sugar. It is also a better alcoholic beverage for people with diabetes since it has no sugars. It also contains ellagic acid, which could help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of obesity (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/whiskey-good-for-you#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Those are some of the reasons whiskey could help promote <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/1600-calorie-keto-meal-plan\/\">weight loss<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Alcohol_Should_You_Drink_When_On_A_Keto_Diet\"><\/span><b>Which Alcohol Should You Drink When On A Keto Diet?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being on a keto diet is hard enough as it is, and hence any more restrictions would make the diet unbearable. The keto diet forces the body to use fats for energy by consuming less than 100 grams of carbohydrates per day. When the body notices it does not have enough carbohydrates to provide it with the necessary energy, it starts breaking down fats into energy in the liver in a process referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/snacks-with-no-carbs\/\">ketosis<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are on a keto diet, it means that you want to go for alcoholic beverages that have little to no carbs; lucky for you, most hard liquors contain little or no carbs at all (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruled.me\/ketogenic-diet-and-alcohol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Whiskey and vodka are good examples of hard liquor. Hard liquor is made from natural sugars like grains and potatoes, however, during the process of fermentation and distillation, the natural sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol, and thus the reason hard liquors contain no carbohydrates or sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking liquor is also known to deepen your level of ketosis but slows down weight loss in the process. Hard liquor affects the liver\u2019s metabolism and the more you take, the more ketones the liver produces, hence deepening your ketosis level (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruled.me\/ketogenic-diet-and-alcohol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does whiskey make you fat? Compared to other alcoholic drinks, whiskey could be a better option if you are looking to lose weight. This is due to the fact that it contains no carbohydrates, fats, and sugars, and all its calories come from alcohol. Although whiskey is made from natural sugars, during the process of fermentation and distillation, the sugars are converted into ethyl alcohol, thus the reason it does not have sugar, carbs, or fats. The same cannot be said for other alcoholic beverages like beer which contains some carbohydrates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When whiskey is looked at individually and not being compared to other alcoholic beverages, it does promote weight gain by increasing the number of empty calories and by increasing hunger and appetite levels. Whiskey comes with several potential benefits like helping with digestion, lowering the risk of dementia, helping with colds, and decreasing the risk of various cardiovascular conditions.

Let's try to find out.<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<h2 style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><b>What Is Whiskey?<\/b><\/h2>\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Whiskey is a grain alcohol that is consumed all over the globe. This distilled alcoholic drink is made by fermentation of different grain mash types such as wheat, barley, maize, rye, and buckwheat. The grain used to make the whiskey, the method of fermentation, the storage location, the container it is stored in, and the amount of time it is stored determines the whiskey\u2019s taste (flavor) and color (appearance). It is for this reason that various whiskeys appear and taste different. For example, Jack Daniels tastes different from Jameson or Johnny Walker.\u00a0<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Although whiskey is consumed all over the world, it traces its roots to medieval Scotland and Ireland. The name whiskey roughly translates to \\\"water of life\\\" in Gaelic. As we\u2019ve mentioned before, whiskey comes in different variants, all based on their production, and that\u2019s why you have drinks like single malt, scotch range, rye, and bourbon.\u00a0<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Drinking whiskey comes with both benefits and risks. In order to enjoy more of the benefits than the risks, scientists and health experts across the globe recommend drinking whiskey in small amounts or moderation.<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<i><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\\\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-alcohol-make-you-retain-water\/\\\">Does Alcohol Make You Retain Water: Here\u2019s What Causes A Puffy Face The Morning After<\/a><\/span><\/i>\\r\\n\\r\\n<a href=\\\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp; ...\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/\",\"name\":\"Does Whiskey Make You Fat: Digging Deeper Into The Relationship Between Alcohol And Weight Gain - BetterMe\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_277478609.jpg\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-12-16T08:35:01+00:00\",\"description\":\"\u2605 DOES WHISKEY MAKE YOU FAT? \u27a4 Read on this article to find out if it does and how you can prevent weight gain while still consuming this sort of alcoholic drink.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_277478609.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_277478609.jpg\",\"width\":1000,\"height\":667,\"caption\":\"Shutterstock\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Blog\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Nutrition\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/nutrition\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Does Whiskey Make You Fat: Digging Deeper Into The Relationship Between Alcohol And Weight Gain\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/\",\"name\":\"BetterMe Blog\",\"description\":\"Health &amp; Fitness\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#organization\"},\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#organization\",\"name\":\"BetterMe\",\"alternateName\":\"Betterme Limited\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BetterMe.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BetterMe.png\",\"width\":512,\"height\":512,\"caption\":\"BetterMe\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/\"},\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/betterme.health.coaching\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/betterme\",\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betterme\/\",\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/betterme-apps\",\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/bettermetips\/\",\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0svgcjc3jSgcryqo83spPQ\",\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@betterme.health.coaching\",\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/betterme-health-coaching\/id1264546236\",\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.gen.workoutme&amp;amp;amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;amp;amp;gl=US\",\"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q114895798\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#\/schema\/person\/1616fff76bda1133c55c824a8dca85e4\",\"name\":\"B.

Let's try to find out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>What Is Whiskey?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whiskey is a grain alcohol that is consumed all over the globe. This distilled alcoholic drink is made by fermentation of different grain mash types such as wheat, barley, maize, rye, and buckwheat. The grain used to make the whiskey, the method of fermentation, the storage location, the container it is stored in, and the amount of time it is stored determines the whiskey\u2019s taste (flavor) and color (appearance). It is for this reason that various whiskeys appear and taste different. For example, Jack Daniels tastes different from Jameson or Johnny Walker.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although whiskey is consumed all over the world, it traces its roots to medieval Scotland and Ireland. The name whiskey roughly translates to \"water of life\" in Gaelic. As we\u2019ve mentioned before, whiskey comes in different variants, all based on their production, and that\u2019s why you have drinks like single malt, scotch range, rye, and bourbon.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking whiskey comes with both benefits and risks. In order to enjoy more of the benefits than the risks, scientists and health experts across the globe recommend drinking whiskey in small amounts or moderation.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-alcohol-make-you-retain-water\/\">Does Alcohol Make You Retain Water: Here\u2019s What Causes A Puffy Face The Morning After<\/a><\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp; ..."},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/","url":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/","name":"Does Whiskey Make You Fat: Digging Deeper Into The Relationship Between Alcohol And Weight Gain - BetterMe","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_277478609.jpg","dateModified":"2024-12-16T08:35:01+00:00","description":"\u2605 DOES WHISKEY MAKE YOU FAT? \u27a4 Read on this article to find out if it does and how you can prevent weight gain while still consuming this sort of alcoholic drink.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_277478609.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_277478609.jpg","width":1000,"height":667,"caption":"Shutterstock"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-whiskey-make-you-fat\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Nutrition","item":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/nutrition\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Does Whiskey Make You Fat: Digging Deeper Into The Relationship Between Alcohol And Weight Gain"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#website","url":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/","name":"BetterMe Blog","description":"Health &amp; Fitness","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#organization","name":"BetterMe","alternateName":"Betterme Limited","url":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BetterMe.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BetterMe.png","width":512,"height":512,"caption":"BetterMe"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/betterme.health.coaching","https:\/\/x.com\/betterme","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betterme\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/betterme-apps","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/bettermetips\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0svgcjc3jSgcryqo83spPQ","https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@betterme.health.coaching","https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/betterme-health-coaching\/id1264546236","https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.gen.workoutme&amp;amp;amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;amp;amp;gl=US","https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q114895798"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#\/schema\/person\/1616fff76bda1133c55c824a8dca85e4","name":"B.
