Go Easy on The Alcohol from Top 10 Ways to Lose Weight

Alcohol is a source of calories. A 12-ounce beer has 150 calories; a 3.5-ounce glass of wine, 85. A margarita brings pleasure but also a bigger caloric kick. Worse offenders are creamy cocktails, such as brandy alexanders and mudslides — all of them equal to drinking a rich dessert. The bottom line: Water is your best bet If you’re trying to lose weight.
