If you really want to have that cosmopolitan or long island then go ahead and have it.

You do not want to be in a situation where you are stuck with a drink that you do not really like simply because you are trying to cut down on the calories.

This helps you to be satisfied with your drink and prevents you from having other drinks in order to try compensate for the bad one that you just had.

So you are basically just stacking up on the calories.

On top of that, the sugar in those drinks makes you very hungry and you end up buying that greasy chicken that you had promised yourself not to buy.

3.Avoid eating foods that have a lot of calories when you are drinking

Greasy foods and foods that contain a lot of calories should be avoided at all costs when you drink.

Research and find out what drinks leave you feeling ravenous right after you take them. Avoid those drinks when you drink.

Also make sure to drink some water in between drinks.
