Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach

Year's Eve parties are an occasion to get together with friends and family, reminisce about what has been and wonder
what is to come. It's a time to resolve to have more fun, be more successful and get healthier. It's also a time to a
have few drinks, which, while not necessarily being unhealthy, may not be the rich way to kick start your resolution to
lose those extra few pounds. Making a few cuts in your cocktails is actually a good way to save a few
calories.
Earlier this year, a list of the most fattening cocktails was released, so you're off to a good start by avoiding the 650 calories in a Pina Colada and the 780 calories in each Long Island Ice Tea. Try to have a glass of water between each drink to balance out your calorie intake and go for smaller servings, instead of novelty-sized margaritas.
Wine, at about 100 calories a glass, is a good choice compared to most mixed drinks, which have higher calorie counts from the juices and sodas used a mixers, in addition to alcohol. For "lighter" drinks, skip the tonic in favor of club soda as a mixer, a calorie-free alternative, or use diet sodas instead of regular. You can add fruity flavors with a shot or two of one of Torani's Sugar Free Syrup, which come in flavors from vanilla to lemon to Irish Cream. While they work well in warming coffee drinks, HungryGirl has quite a few creative, calorie-saving cocktail recipes to choose from to get your party started on December 31st.
