Useful Drinking Tips for the Holiday Season

Posted by Nirmala N.

Red wine is the best libation to go for if you want to drink, but anything after a couple glasses pretty much cancels out the benefits.

Go for organic when possible--they have less chemicals and additives.

Choose pure fruit juice, soda, and mineral water as mixers.

Definitely avoid the egg nog whenever possible.

Don't top your glass. Refill your drink only when it's totally finished, so you can keep track of how much you drink.

Alternate each alcoholic drink with a glass of water.

If you think of a cocktail as being dessert -- because it pretty much IS, carb and calorie-wise -- you will drink sensibly at holiday gatherings. Save the indulgence for a glass of the best wine or maybe a special cognac. You don't want to waste your waist on drinks that seem like they are straight from the Ledo deck of a cruise ship. I agree with the concept of alternating with a glass of water. This will help prevent hangovers and fuel digestion.
