Alcohol is very caloric. A single shot of vodka can have 100 calories. Also it can increase blood flow to the skin, making you seem warmer than you actually are, at the expense of your internal body temperature.
Using the standard 7 calories per gram of alcohol, the alcohol content of a 12 oz 5% beer (equivalent of a 1.5 oz 40% shot) is 117 calories (12oz x 28g/oz x 5% x 7 Kc/g).
That’s just the alcohol and an average beer would have been more from the additional carbs.
If your vodka shot has only 100 calories, that’s either a weak pour or some weak vodka!

If you look at any 40% vodka, you'll find a 1.5 oz shot clocking in at 96-98 calories.
