If you’re in college, or even if you’re not, then you typically drink. Rather that is a glass of wine with dinner or an entire bottle of coconut rum when you’re going out, either way you should probably keep an eye out on how many calories you are in taking, because when you gain the freshman 15 it may have less to do with all the ramen noodles you are eating and more with your liquor intake. So next time you go the bar and order a Long Island ice tea, you should know that one glass of this has more calories than a McDonald’s Big Mac. So here is a list of those delicious, yet oh-so dangerous drinks that you should look out for.
- Pina Colada- 586 calories. These perfect beach drinks may be great when you’re trying to cool off when tanning, but a 12 oz. drink of this is equal to a Burger King Whopper Sandwich. Can you say ew?
- Margarita- 550 calories. This perfect combination of tequila and margarita mix will definitely get you to your happy place. But when you think about how you are drinking a Wendy’s double cheeseburger, then maybe you should take a step back before ordering another round.
- White Russian- 425 calories. While in Russia, do as the Russians do. But when in America, watch what you drink. This high-calorie drink may seem like a good idea, but the weight gained combined with the dreadful hangover will definitely fill you with regret.
After seeing some of the highest calorie drinks, here are some of the drinks that have much lower calories. So feel free to drink up, but just remember portion control!
- Bloody Mary- 125 calories. Who ordered that tomato juice with a touch of vodka? This skinny girl. Want to fit into your tight black dress when you go out with the girls? Well, step away from the deadly Long Island and grab one of these classics.
- Champagne- 78 calories. Having a celebration? Why not have some bubbly to go along for the occasion! This low-calorie drink is perfect for any occasion, and come on, who doesn’t feel classy drinking this?
- Guinness Beer- 125 calories. Afraid of getting the nightmarish beer belly? Have no fear, and grab a Guinness beer! With only 125 calories, you’ll get a beer with great flavor and one that won’t make you cringe when wearing a bathing suit.
