As a self-diagnosed wino, this is a good reminder that that glass of wine before bed doesn't come without a cost (120+ calories!).
This is a nice article for the holidays when you want to be smart about your diet/calories, but also want to enjoy a beverage. This is a great list of wiser options and an explanation as to why alcohol has such a negative effect when it comes to nutritional value. It ultimately becomes instant fat as it can not be used as energy! Great read!
