Want to cut some calories? Make wine spritzers and add a splash of soda water to your wine, add ice to make drinks seem more plentiful, opt for soda water instead of tonic and sugary beverages, pass on the mixed beverages with added flavors and syrups, choose lighter beers, or detox and say no to alcohol and treat yourself to a drink every now and then!
