Hard Drinks Worse than Eating a Big Mac, Opt for these Low Cal Cocktails

Did you know that 2 glasses of Rum Punch can add up to 700 calories? That means those colorful little cocktails actually contain more calories than a Big Mac. I know there are many people out there that wouldn't dare step into a fast food restaurant and order up a greasy burger, yet on the weekends you can find them throwing back drinks that have calorie counts comparable to full meals.
But Ryan, what am I supposed to do if I value having a fit body, but also like to get twizzled on the weekends? Don't worry, you can still get drunk as a skunk without packing on the pounds. You just have to look into the nutritional value and be smart about it. You'd be surprised at which other drinks are high-calorie.
I'd recommend sticking to this list of Low-Cal cocktails that I found:

I actually found this list of beverages a week ago, which was convenient because I held a small party with some friends of mine, who tend to be health nuts. This way I was able to show them a good time and they didn't have to go crazy in the gym the next day in order to work of the late night calories.
