The holiday business parties might be hard to get through without an alcoholic beverage. Margaritas made with limeade and tequila don't have fat, but beware of the sugar and over 400 calories packed into ten ounces of drink.

Martinis,mojitos and champagne only have about 185 calories. Keep it to one or two drinks and you are okay, but over that you might not only be full of calories, but also making a fool of yourself.
