Ideally , you would want to drink the one with the less sugars in it. <strong>Maribeth</strong>, you are correct, a lot of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages have a lot of calories with TONS of sugar. There really isn't a Good alternative, A glass of wine would probably be the best because it does have some healthy benefits over beer and cocktails. <strong>Erin Sullivan</strong>, thanks for your comment! <strong>Pam</strong>, looking forward to reading more responses from you! JONAS THanks for the comments everyone!

Dixie, a glass of Wine would probably be your drink of choice.

Joy, The main thing is moderation, having a glass of wine is a lot better then drinking a whole bottle and I don’t really feel good about your theory :P

Sarah, If you find that it’s difficult to reach your goals, then it might be a good idea to cut back on the wine and see if that makes a difference

Lee, I’m gad you are having a good time, I love cats too!

Sheri, always drink the cocktail that they don’t serve at place you go and you will be ok!. Ideally , you would want to drink the one with the less sugars in it.

In fact, I pride myself on the fact that I've educated myself about the effects of alcohol after watching its destruction on lifestyles in New Orleans over the years. I still like an occasional glass of wine or two, but not as a ritual. It's need more muscle, thought...so, IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR ANOTHER BOOT CAMP! No offense taken.

I have heard this is less of all evil true or not...If I plan on having some cocktails, how do you feel about eating just protein and subsitute cocktails for my carbs, that is if low calorie cocktails that is mentioned above?

When I do decide to drink I usually have red wine or pale ale and limit the quantity plus I drink a glass of water between each drink to stay hydrated. I also stay away from hard liquor completely because it's too potent for a lightweight like me. Luckily for me I don’t drink very often though I do enjoy the occasional girls night out.

Now that football season has begun, I found myself in a situation where everyone was drinking and I do not like beer. So, I chose a Mike's Cranberry hard lemonade and the next day after my research, I found that this 1 bottle had 222 calories and 30.4 grams of sugar. It was not worth it. That is equivalent to a small meal. Is there any options to these social situations? Thank you Jonas for your insight regarding this topic.
