  • Splurge for St. Paddy's Day!

    Happy St. Patrick's Day, Healthkickers!

    Are you looking to splurge on this infamous drinking day? If so, chances are you're going to pack on a few hundred calories by drinking your favorite Irish beers.

    But there's nothing wrong with splurging every now and then!

    Here is the nutritional information for some of your favorite Irish beers:

    • Guinness: Alcohol content: 4.0%; Calories: 125; Carbs: 10
    • Harp: Alcohol content: 4.55%; Calories: 142
    • Murphy's Irish Stout: Alcohol content: 4%; Calories: 150
    • O'Hara's Irish Stout: Alcohol content: 4.3%; Calories: 140; Carbs: 0
    • Killarney's Red Stout: Alcohol content: 5.0%; Calories: 197; Carbs: 22.8
    • Killian's: Alcohol content: 4.9%; Calories: 163; Carbs: 13.8

    So if you're anything like me, you'll enjoy a good Irish brew on St. Paddy's Day... but now you know the caloric expense!

    Is drinking beer and splurging on the calories on your To-Do list for St. Patrick's Day?

    • About Me: While I tried to stay in college for as long as I possibly could, I picked up a Psychology minor, forcing myself to learn a little about mental health. What I didn't know was how closely linked mental and physical health, are to each other. Now that I've graduated, I've enjoyed writing about all different aspects of health for Healthkicker. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there's no way to live healthy unless you're happy, too. I'm hoping to be able to give as much insight as I can, while picking up a few tips from everyone along the way!
 If there was one drink I could not live with, it'd be WATER. While I do thrive off of energy drinks, I drink about 15 glasses of water a day. As far as my favorite foods go, I'll eat anything with cheese, chicken, and asparagus. Also, ANY kind of fruit!
