Ok, so... my latest book obsession

My new favorite book...I have posted a sampling...

Let's face it – we Hot Chicks love all those girly mixed drinks. Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Mudslides, Mojitos, and Apple Martinis all look really pretty and fun and taste like candy. That’s the problem – they pretty much are candy. Each one of those cocktails is loaded with sugary nonsense and tons of sodium and can run anywhere from 400 to 1,200 calories EACH! And be honest, how many times do we go out and only have ONE drink?

We notice that the crazier and more colorful our cocktails get, the less hot we feel in our tank tops and short skirts as we try to get comfortable on that barstool. It’s not actually the alcohol that that makes these drinks do about the same damage as cheesecake. It’s all the crap they add to the alcohol to make it taste sweet. Vodka, Gin, Tequila, and even some of the clearer Rums only have about 70-80 calories a shot. It’s the pre-made mixes and colas and tonic and concentrated fruit juices and creamy flavorings they add to the shots that turn these cocktails into giant calorie fests.

Remember that the clever names of those mixed drinks are actually vicious lies. “Sex on the beach” should more accurately be called, “Chubby mixed drink guzzler sitting alone on the beach in a control top one-piece.”
