Vodka, Beer, Wine....why are you so High?!

Schmello!

It's Thursday. We are soon approaching the weekend. As most of you know, I frequent Diamonz Bar and Grill and Bethlehem, PA ( and happen to work there every Saturday hosting Karaoke.) If you didn't know, be ashamed, I am awesome.

Anywho, this requires me to be at at bar, which my insides require me to drank a lil' bit. 

My drink of choice, Vodka ( Kettle to be precise) and Tonic, or Corona Light with Lime. ( bad nights are for Johnny Walker Black Label, and other things which shall go unmentioned.

So I am factoring in Alcohol in my points allotment, because I need to consider how many points it will be.

Quick sidebar: The New Points Plus system calculates points by some mathematical problem including grams of Fat, Carbs, Fiber, and Protein.

So I already decided I will try vodka and club soda as the club soda has nothing to it, and the vodka has no fat protein etc, just barely any carb loving.

So, I google, Vodka Nutrition Facts and on the beautiful left hand side it tells me that in 1 fluid ounce there are 0 g of fat, 0g of carb 0g of fiber, and 0g of protein....

SOUNDS LIKE 0 POINT HEAVEN TO ME!!!!!

WRONG. fucking wrong. Turns out Weight Watchers believes in their minds, that Vodka ( along with Gin, Whiskey, and Rum) are 4....4....4 points per Jigger (Jigga what?! Jigga Who?because now that I wrote Jigger this song is stuck in my head)

ANYWAY,  THIS IS BULLSHIT. I continue to Google why it is 4 points, but there is not one straight answer.... now granted, I figured it would be 1 MAYBE 2, but 4 points...  le crap.

Sigh, I need a drink just writing this!

So yea, my Corona is 1 12 ounce beer is 3 points. 2 is 7.... ugh..

And a glass of wine ( for 5 ounces.... who in their right mind pours a pathetic glass of 5 ounces, might as well drink water) anyway lol, it is 5 points.....

I think my life is over. ( I know my life isn't over, but I need to be dramatic about this somewhere to effectively deal with my feelings).


We will see how this weekend goes :)
