Weight Management

If you’re watching your calories, a drink or two could spell dietary disaster at tonight’s party. Consider the calorie counts on these:

Margarita, 6 oz., 407 calories

Rum and Coke, 12 oz. 369 calories

Pina Colada, 8 oz. 312 calories

Mai Tai, 5 oz., 306 calories

Mudslide, 12 oz., 820 calories

Instead, pick these drinks that total under 300 calories each:

Bloody Mary, 5 oz.

Gin Gimlet. 2.5 oz.

Mimosa, 6 oz.

Scotch and club soda on the rocks, 1.5 oz.

Whiskey Sour, 3 oz.

Sangria, 4 oz.

Cheers and happy new year!
