i have been really watching what i eat lately and working out and every now and then on my lonely nights i get tempted to go back to that wretched jack and coke. and as im sitting there drinking it i have often wondered how much damage i am doing and how far back i have set myself just from those couple of drinks. i often thought i workout and eat right all week just to have a couple of drinks and maybe break even. lol. thanks .

Drinking is a killer for any diet or health plan. The amount of calories in alcohol is staggering. Just to add to this list, there is a site (http://www.drinknation.com) that has nutrition info for literally any cocktail you can think of, so next time you go out drinking you can plan ahead what you might want to drink - and then boggle at what you’ll be working off!
