This Thursday may be Thanksgiving, but the night before has grown to become one of the biggest party dates of the year, especially for young people. With friends home from college, out-of-town buddies visiting family for the holiday, and a guaranteed next day off from work and/or school obligations, the bars and clubs are sure to be packed. And, there undoubtedly will be enough alcohol going around with which to float a battleship.

Good times for sure. Still, it's easy to forget just how many calories you're drinking when consuming alcohol. Hell, after a few drinks, it's easy to forget how to tie your shoes. This is why you should take heed now (now - as in, while you're stone sober) of just how much damage you're actually doing in the calorie department with some of your favorite libations.

• Heineken - 150 calories
• Blue Moon - 171 calories
• Coors Light - 102 calories
• Bacardi Breezer Diet Lemon - 96 calories
• Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - 200 calories
• Merlot - 123 calories
• Champagne - 110 calories
• Guinness - 126 calories
• Riesling - 120 calories

Have too many of these drinks, and before you know it, you just consumed more calories than you probably will the next day at Thanksgiving dinner!!
