A study released today confirms what seemed blatantly obvious: very few people really know how many calories are in the alcohol they consume! With the obesity epidemic only getting worse, something I've seen first hand is that very few people realize what they are really putting into their bodies when they pull up to a McyD's or, apparently, start a tab at the local bar.
Having trouble losing weight? Just do the math:
5 beers + Nachos at the bar + Late-night fast food burger and fries = 2,650 calories!!!
So what is a party-person to do with this information? Either change your life-style and quit drinking (I find Perrier with a lime is a great substitute at bars), or pay closer attention to what you have and seek out lower calorie alternatives. 2 low calorie alternatives include:
1. Vodka and Diet Coke (55 calories, high alcohol content)
2. Miller Lite (94 calories, highest alcohol content of any light beer)
