Choose your cocktails wisely

Alcohol is not your friend when it comes to weight loss. Just one or two drinks can pack hundreds of calories and significantly raise your overall intake. If you don't want to cut out alcohol completely from your diet, you have to choose your drinks wisely. Some of the best choices include:

• White wine (5 fl oz): 120 calories
• Champagne (4 fl oz): 95 calories
• Light beer (12 fl oz): about 95 calories
• Vodka soda: (7.5 fl oz): 133 calories
• Hard seltzer (12 fl oz): about 100 calories
• Rum and diet coke (7.5 fl oz): 135 calories

If you decide to include alcohol in your diet, stick to these low-calorie options, and limit yourself to one or two drinks max per day. And if you want to speed up weight loss, cut your alcohol intake to one or two days per week.
