In honor of all things worth celebrating, I give you top tips for better boozin’:

• Go with wine, wine spritzers, light beer, or simple cocktails to avoid drinking your calories (usually, the lighter the color, the lighter the drink)
• Always drink water while ya booze
• Use zero-cal club soda, seltzer, or sparkling water instead of tonic
• Use REAL juice – like fresh-squeezed or 100% juice if store-bought
• Use REAL fruit – mix/garnish with lemon, grapefruit, berries, and other fruits for natural fruitiness, especially fun to get creative with fruit during summer months!
• Sweeten with stevia, honey, or real maple syrup for natural sweetness
• Don’t be afraid to get creative with your mixers…hello, kombucha!
• Watch those portions and keep track of how many you’ve had
• Use fun glasses. Even a boring drink or a mocktail in a fun glass tastes better
• Lasty, and possibly most important: keep full water bottles beside your bed and make sure to drink at least one before hitting the hay – you’ll cut your hangover and headache in half instantly because you won’t be as dehydrated!
