joe -
i was reading an article about liquor this morning and you'll never guess what i saw. i will copy it here and you can tell me what's amazing about it.
"We don't mean that the occasional cocktail will instantly result in a Brobdingnagian beer belly, but you shouldn't be fooled just because these drinks taste light and fruity. Not only do spirits, such as vodka, gin, rum and whiskey, contain a higher percentage of calories than beer and wine, but if you add fruit juice, syrups and sodas to the mix - for example, orange juice has 56 calories per serving and Coca-Cola has 105 calories per eight fluid ounces - the calorie count keeps growing. And don't think that drinking fewer cocktails with a bigger kick will solve that problem: The higher the proof, the greater the calorie."
what a good way to start the day.
