Caloric Cocktails by the Numbers

Contrary to popular belief, the calories consumed out of a glass are equally potent in the weight-gain department as those which are chewed. Since drinking becomes more and more popular over the holidays, I thought I’d take some information from my book, The Everything Flat Belly Cookbook and share the calorie content on everything from eggnog, to screwdrivers and beer. Check it out and make wise decisions this New Years Eve. And of course, when it comes to alcoholic beverages – please don’t drink and drive!

All drinks are labeled for 8-ounce servings unless otherwise noted.
