You don't have you blow it when you go out for cocktail. Here are a few hints to help you keep you calorie intake in check.
1. Don't go out on an empty stomach. After getting a few drinks in your system you will be more likely to get the munchies. Have a healthy snack before you go out. Some whole grain bread, fruit, veggies, maybe some grilled chicken. It will help ward off your cravings later.
2. Drink LOTS of water...before, during and after having liquor. When you drink your body becomes dehydrated...one cause of the dreaded hangover. It also help to fill you up and it has no calories. Alternate water between drinks and you'll reduce the chance of getting drunk. Also drink 2 or 3 glasses of water before bed, it will help flush the alcohol from your system so that when you do rise the next day you won't feel like you were just ran over by a very big truck!
3. Make a pact with yourself not to order food after you've been drinking...it's all just extra calories. If you can't help it grab a small bag of pretzels or have a peanut butter sandwich before bed. Something small will do the trick...not an extra large deluxe pizza at 3 am...that'll taste nasty in the morning.
Hopefully these pointers will help you have a good time and keep yourself in check. Be smart and have fun!
