Here's How Many Calories Your Favorite Whiskey Shot Has

It's no coincidence that the first drink mentioned in Chumbawumba's hit single "Tub Thumping" is a whiskey one; whether you're a scotch-sippin' connoisseur or simply a fan of the cheap stuff, there's nothing quite like a good whiskey.

We tallied up the numbers on some of the most popular whiskey brands on the market, and found that on average, a 1.5oz shot of whiskey contains about 108 calories.
