Why Holiday Drinking Makes You Large

Posted: December 22nd, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

The Holiday party season is in full swing and I don’t want to be
everybody’s favorite buzzkiller, but when the festivities are over
and the fat lady has sung, you may reflect on where some of that
added girth has come from.

If you like to kick it like a rockstar, say with Rockstar Energy
drink, just keep in mind that each can of that Axl Rosewater has 62
grams of sugar. (A 16 ounce can of Coke has 54.)

16 ounces of cranberry juice (a bar favorite), contains 64 grams of
sugar. (Plus, high fructose corn syrup.)

For those of you headed South to Margaritaville, keep in mind that a
“small” margarita rolls in at 400 calories. (Each)

For Bloody Mary aficionados, the bar mix has high fructose corn
syrup, as the second ingredient.

For all you fitness buffs, Vitamin Water has 32 grams of sugar in
just one 20 ounce bottle. Gatorade has high fructose corn syrup, to
help you get your body back in order, after a good workout.

In the real world, water is your best friend, even though it isn’t
the life of the party.

Get small! Drink water.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

With my best wishes for your optimum health,
