If you’re a liquor drinker, vodka tonics with diet tonic (0 calories per serving) is the way to go if you’re calorie counting.
I can totally relate to this though, as my wife and I are currently trying to cut back on the boozing. Most nights we were splitting a six pack of a high calorie IPA, sometimes more. We’ve… Read more
