The Nutritional Breakdown of Your Booze

So here we are. The final hurrah of the year and many of us plan to go out with a bang.

Tomorrow, of course, we’ll worry about the damage done to our waistlines, heads and livers, and promise never to do it again as we look for deals on the internet for gym memberships from comfort of our beds.

We don’t want to ruin all the good fun of your New Year’s Eve, so perhaps just bookmark this blog and read it tomorrow. But if you are one of those people who chooses to look before your leap, here is the nutritional breakdown for all your favourite party tipples. And, at the very least, you’ll know how hard you need to tear up the dance floor in order to burn off your cocktail.
