Frequently Asked Question: How does alcohol fit into a SANE lifestyle? Answer: Calories provided by the vast majority of alcoholic beverages are insane. That doesn t mean we must avoid all alcoholic beverages. It means that given our goal of minimizing insane calories, the best alcoholic beverages are those with the least calories. For example, choose wine instead of beer, clear liquor versus brown liquor, completely avoid sugar saturated mixes e.g. fruit juice or soda. SmarterScienceOfSlim.com 15 JonathanBailor.com
