Summer drinks to avoid
Five Drinks to AvoidDaiquiri: With 4 ounces of mix and 1 ounce of liquor, a daiquiri weighs in at 305 calories -- almost all sugar! "A lot of these drinks are served in very large quantities (12 to 16 ounces)," says Gidus. Your 300-calorie drink can boast up to 800 calories. Long Island Iced Tea: Using TGIFriday's mixer and a 12-ounce serving adds 520 calories to your daily intake. Pina Colada: A 5-ounce glass nets 245 calories. Super-size it to 10 ounces and it's 490 calories. Mixers: Just 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits is 65 calories. Add 6 ounces of calorie-laden soda or syrups and you're well over the calorie count for a "light" drink. Bartles & James Wine Cooler: This seemingly harmless sparkling concoction sports 230 calories per 12-ounce bottle. Not slimming.

Okay, I can appreciate an occasional daiquiri (or Brandy Alexander), but again, blech! to the rest.
Are YOU seriously worrying about calories? My fat a$$ will take a pina colada right this second and not give it a second thought:) YUM
