Wine & Calories, What Should I Drink on a Diet?

I'm about 6'1", 165 pounds soaking wet with a metabolism of a 12 year old. Jealous? Don't be, I lost all my hair in college. Ying/yang, everything balances out. Age is catching up though and my genetic luck is running out... I can't drink like a college student and expect to keep my mannish figure!

Did you know a glass of wine has less calories than beer & soda? If you are craving a tipple but are watching your calorie intake, it's time to give vino some serious consideration.

I think you'll be surprised by these numbers:
  • Light beer 12oz, 110 calories
  • Beer 12oz, 150 calories
  • Dark beer 12oz, 168 calories
  • Red wine 5oz, 105 calories
  • White wine 5oz, 100 calories
  • Sparkling white wine 5oz, 106 calories
  • Distilled spirits (Scotch, vodka, bourbon, gin etc.) 1.5oz, 100 calories

Cheers!
