Cocktails and your calorie consumption....

It's not surprising that many people have questions regarding their alcohol consumption and caloric intake...

Here Are 5 Ways To Cut Alcohol Calories!!!

So how do you keep calories in alcoholic drinks from adding up way too much? Here are five tips...

1. Alternate alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks to save calories.

2. Choose wine, light beer, or simple cocktails made with low-calorie mixers.

3. Skip the mixer altogether. Try ordering your favorite drink or one of the new flavored liquors on the rocks.

4. Dilute your drink. Another option is diluting your drink with club soda or sparkling water.

5. Have a plan! Common! Before going out to the cocktail party or happy hour, make sure you have a game plan. You have to make an informed choice as to how much you are going to drink for the evening. You might need to cut back on your overall calories for that day to compensate. But, never skip meals altogether, this is a bad thing, especially if you plan on having a cocktail or two, or five...
