BOOZE PART II

So, I gave you time to reflect on the booze issue/concern/confusion last week.  Now I want to talk about "The True Serving".  The fact of the matter is, our society over indulges on wine. We go to a restaurant and are served wine in these HUGE goblets that we could practically take a bath in.  I have attached a picture of the wine glasses I have at home.  the one on the left is 6oz and the one on the right is 8oz.  I drink out of the 6oz glass, filling it to about 5 oz.  FIVE OUNCES IS A TRUE SERVING.  There is approximately 120 cals in one serving of wine.  If you have the big boy goblets at home, get rid of them and buy some smaller 6 oz glasses.  It will make a huge difference!  If you are a beer drinker, you are on the right track because the portions are controlled for you.  Try to stick to the lower calorie, lighter beers.  HOWEVER, if you notice that you drink twice as many light beers because they are so much like water, then go back to your full-bodied beers, sip them slowly, enjoying one or two (limit yourself).  It all comes back to moderation. Stay away from high sugar drinks altogether including margaritas, daiquiris, and cosmos.   Happy drinking!
