Oh yeah. You might as well take shots of syrup.

They are high in calories and sugar, so yes. Starbucks usually offers a nutrition guide.

Please - commit this to memory: it does not matter which foods you eat - it matters how many calories you eat. For health you need a variety of nutritious foods - that much is true. But a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. You need to look at HOW MANY CALORIES ARE YOU EATING VERSUS HOW MANY CALORIES YOU BURN OFF IN A DAY. It makes no sense and does not help you to demonize certain foods as "fattening " or others as non-fattening. If you eat MORE CALORIES OF ANY FOOD YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT. It is simple mathematics - i don't see why anyone is not clear on this by now.
