The basic 1/4 pound cheeseburger has 545 calories. That is 260 1/4 lb patty, 120 bun, 60 American cheese slice, 15 ketchup and 90 Mayo. This is a basic cheeseburger, not a double or one with god knows what dripping off of it. The average recommended intake for men is 2500 calories and women 2000 calories, this is an average of all the weight and activity levels. 500 calories of liquor or cheeseburger boils down to 20% of a mans daily allowance of calories and 25% for women.
It is actually simple, take a simple Rum and Coke, you get 100 calories from the rum and 90 for the cola, that is 190 calories, and on average most people will drink three of them at a sitting, that is 570 Calories or more than a cheeseburger. If you start adding heavily sugared mixers like creme of coconut etc, then you can get single drinks like a Pina Colada, that will have more than 400 calories each.
"A recent survey commissioned by Truly Spiked & Sparkling and conducted online by Harris Poll showed that a stunning 47% of drinkers in the United States believe that there aren’t enough low-calorie drinks options out there on the market, with 45% believing that following a fitness regime makes it more difficult to be social when events revolve around food and drink."
On the other hand a rum or any other basic spirit on the rocks or with a diet soda, is only 100 calories, about the same as a light beer. You will be pretty drunk is you have five of those in one sitting, but it is less than a cheeseburger. Check out the chart and see what you are taking in when you are out grilling and eating burgers and drinking your favorite beverage how many calories your are taking in. Usually about the equivalent of about 2 to 3 hours of running to burn them off.
