If weight loss is topping your New Year's resolution list but you plan to ring in 2008 with a few drinks, here are a few weight-sparing swaps to help you navigate the calorie-laden waters you are about to drink.
- Instead of ordering a Cosmo, have an Apple Martini. You'll save 91 calories.
- Don't knock back a White Russian. Enjoy a Mudslide, and you'll be 154 calories richer.
- Long Island Iced Tea? Nope. Get the Tequila Sunrise and save 114 calories.
- Nix the Margarita, and embrace the Mojito -- there's 206 calories in it for you.
- Dump Tom Collins and pick up a Gin and Tonic. Savings: 105 calories.
If you're really trying to save calories, you might want to forgo the alcoholic drinks altogether. But if you wish to enjoy the season with a cocktail or two, consider these drink switch-ups a healthy trade as you kick off your weighty resolutions.
