So the calories are just from the alcohol? Maybe I should try those ones instead

Here is what I received back from Absolut Vodka:

The general nutritional information of vodka is Energy 9.6 MJ (2300
kcal)/liter. ABSOLUT VODKA is basically alcohol and water and does not
contain carbohydrates. This information is also valid for the flavored
products in our product range.

There is no sugar in any of our products.

The ingredients for the production of ABSOLUT are grain (wheat),
sweetening enzymes, yeast and water from our own well. It does not contain
any gluten as it is removed in the production process. For the production
of flavored vodka, only natural ingredients from berries, fruits and
spices are used.

Default the answer to vanilla rum cARB COUNT

Rum Carb Counts and Nutrition

Rum is a fermented drink made from sugar. Rum has been around for centuries, and is well known as the favorite drink of pirates and sea-going ruffians. Rum was extremely popular with colonists and kept them warm during many a long wintry night.

Rum does not have carbs in it because the starting sugar is fermented. That is how alcohol is created. Yeast eats the sugar and turns it into alcohol. Sugar is destroyed, alcohol is created.

Here are the carb counts for various styles of rum. Straight rum is always zero carbs. This is because the sugar has been turned into alcohol - and alcohol has zero carbs. Note that alcohol does have CALORIES. It is one of the four types of energy a body can burn, along with protein, fat and carbohydrates. So while it's not a carb, you can't drink unlimited quantities and expect to lose weight!

Captain Morgan (a spiced rum) comes in four flavors:
Original - 0.3g
Silver - 1.7g
Parrot Bay - 6.0g
Private Stock - 2.2g

Malibu Rum - 5.1g

I personally like Bacardi Rum. The straight version is zero carbs. Here are some other versions -

Rum Bacardis:
Bacardi Light 0g
Bacardi Gold 0g
Bacardi Limon 2g
Bacardi Vanilla 2g
Bacardi O 3g
Bacardi Razz 3g
Bacardi Coco 2g

Malt Bacardis:
Bacardi Silver - 34g
Bacardi O3 - 33g

If you're using tonic water or soda as a mixer, be sure to use a diet version with 0g of carbs!

Are those numbers per fluid ounce, per shot, or for some other amount?

I learned the hard way....I drank a couple of glasses of wine, and I was insta drunk. It was awful, and I'll NEVER do that again.

carb count in Rum! I myself like diet cola and Rum, I once drank bourbon and coke until I had a blind date who drank Rum and coke, been drinking it for 50 years. However on this lo carb diet i have not had a drink since I started this time.
I may be wrong about this, if I am youall let me know, All and I think all alcohol will turn into sugar in your body. I will stay alcohol free until I loose about half my goal
