in Introduce Yourself
there were so many calories in wine! No wonder my friend suggested I join and track my calories. Who knew!!

Cheers!

    Back in my beer drinking days I had no excuse. You always saw the calories on bottle/can. Glad that is behind me. Good luck!

    Try making spritzers - half wine, half seltzer water. Cuts the calories in half. This works best with white wines that are somewhat sweet. As a red wine drinker myself, I bemoan the number of calories in my favorite vino. I've switched to MGD 64. I quit diet drinks, too, so mixed drinks are out because the calories get too high too fast.

    Spritzers are awesome in the summer!! I wonder what vodka soda looks like on the calorie counter? anyone know?
