The right drinks for smart social drinking
To indulge in some smart diet drinking, it’s a good idea to get to know the alcohol facts about the calorie counts of different beverages. When it comes to social drinking and weight loss, a glass of wine can be your best friend. A 5 ounce glass of white or red wine averages just 100 calories, which makes it a smart diet drinking choice. Plus, because wine lends itself to sipping slowly, you’re likely to consume less ounces overall than if you opt for beer or a mixed drink in a social drinking setting, and that means weight loss success. If wine isn’t your speed, there are some mixed cocktails that are almost as great when it comes to smart diet drinking. A 3 ounce Cosmopolitan cocktail contains just 165 calories, which means you can have one or two without breaking your weight loss program. A Gin and Tonic is another low-cal choice for social drinking, with just 175 calories in an 8 ounce drink.
