From the nutrition history, assess Mr. Mahon's alcohol intake. What is his average caloric intake from alcohol each day using the information that he provided to you?

What will be an ideal response?


6 pack beer: 150 kcal/beer x 6 = 900 kcal
4-5 shots bourbon: 100 kcal/shot x 5 = 500 kcal
Total: 1400 kcal/d on weekdays or about 70% of daily calories from alcoholic beverages alone.

Alcohol caloric contribution:
Beer (assuming 4.2%) = 6 beers x 360 mL/beer x 0.042 g/L x 7 kcal/g = 635 kcal
Shots (assuming 80 proof) = 5 shots x 45 mL/shot x 0.4 g/L x 7 kcal/g = 630 kcal
Total: 1265 kcal from alcohol (ethanol)
