Yeah, yeah. We've all heard about alcohol being comprised of empty calories that pad your waistline without giving you anything back (except the nagging feeling that you must hop on that table and let everyone in the room know just how fabulous your are at dancing when you really aren't.) We'd all love to take that advice to heart but for some of us, giving up alcohol just isn't something that's going to happen anytime soon. But that doesn't mean that you can't make smart choices when you do drink. AOL has come up with a list of the most and least fattening drinks.
Among the worst ones? Egg nog, hot toddies (when was the last time you had one of those?), fruity martinis, margaritas and mixed drinks like Singapore slings. The best ones are all non0sugary ones: Champagne, wine, wine spritzers, highballs made with soda or sparkling water and beer, surprisingly. Of course, everything in moderation, right?
