Healthy Alcoholic Drinks For Men



Healthy Alcoholic Drinks For Men

renaissance-marriott.com
It’s Friday the weather’s warm and you’re fresh out of work or the gym and ready to enjoy a couple drinks to celebrate your weekend.  But how do you do this without completely undermining all your progress at the gym?  I mean that beach body isn’t making itself, right?  So what’s a guy to do if he wants to work out during the week but enjoy a tasty beverage during on the weekend?  Below are some drinks that can help you unwind without packing on the pounds.  

Guinness
If you love beer, think about drinking Guinness, since it’s a stout its heavier than normal beers and more filling.  However it only has 128 calories per 12 ounces.  In addition to this a University of Wisconsin study says that it can also help to reduce blood clots.

Anything on the Rocks
As men we really don’t need mixers anyway, especially if you’re trying to keep off the belly fat, since many times mixers have a lot of calories.  If you really do have an issue with the taste of liquor on ice you could always try some flavor infused varieties.

Fizzy Lemonade
Mix tequila, vodka, and diet lime-lemon (its lower in calories plus some people say that full calorie lemon lime soda is too sweet), to get a healthy and refreshing cocktail, that wound add on the pounds.

Vodka and Soda with Lime
Probably my personal favorite because I love having club soda with lime, if I’m not going to drink that night.  This drink is great for when you desire something a little lighter than shots of hard liquor.  Just take some vodka, some club soda, ice, and a lime slice and boom! You have a light refreshing low calorie drink ready to go.

Whiskey and Green Tea
A great drink for cool nights, this drink has all kinds of additional health benefits like boosting your health, like lowering your cholesterol level and boosting your immune systems defenses.

White and Red Wine
I’m not really a wine fan personally, but if you are these two kinds of wine  are great.  Wine is low in calories and when consumed in moderation can provide numerous health benefits.  Red wine is an antioxidant and can help protect you from cancer.  White wine has fewer carbs per serving than red, 2g per 5 oz serving rather than 4g like red wine, so either way you are drinking healthy.

Light Beer
Not the healthiest option but still better than its full bodied alternative, these beers should be consumed in moderation.  Today light beer is incredibly low calorie with some beers having well under 100 calories.

Whatever you choose remember moderation is key, there is no point in drinking healthy if you are going to overdo it and undermine all your hard work. Cheers.
