RESVERATROL! Another great reason to drink up that red delicousness.... :-)
As we get ready for the well deserved weekend, some of us, or rather MOST of us will be enjoying our beloved cocktails. Do not feel bad or guilty! Especially if you will be choosing red wine. A recent report in Fortunes February issue by David Stipp explains that it has been recently proven along with heart healthy antidoxidants, that red wine contains resveratrol which has been proven to slow down the aging process. Another great reason to enjoy this delectable indulgence! Just remember, try to stick to the two drink minimum to ensure that you do not break all diet barriers and overindulge in snacks and to ensure you do not feel the wine in the morning.
Also, ladies and gentlemen, if you are worried about the calories in your cocktails, please note the following calories in some of our favorite drinks. (Please note that calories can fluctuate depending on the size and how your bartender prepares your drink)
Red Wine (5oz) - 129 cals
White Wine (5oz) - 120 cals
Light Beer (one bottle) - 110 cals
Margarita (one typical glass, frozen) - 453 cals
Cosmopolitan - 152 cals
Martini - 184 cals
Remember, having one or two drinks with some friends or co workers after work will not kill your diet at all! It is good to spice up the normal routine and socializing is very healthy! Try your best to not become the dreaded diet nazi, you know the person who won't go out on a Thursday because they only have their drink on Friday or even worse the person who is constantly telling everyone else how many calories are in something! Ouch... If asked, respond, otherwise, chilly chill chill... and remember that choosing red wine and having our new friend resveratrol can help slow the dreaded aging process. :-)
Cheers to good health, friends and now anti aging!
P.S. If you really don't want to have a cocktail, but want to "fit in", order a seltzer with lime. Looks like vodka tonic and no explanation will be needed... works everytime when you don't feel like having a cocktail. Enjoy and have fun!

Look, I need about three bottles of "anti-aging deliciousness" every Friday afternoon. At this rate, I should be looking ten years old in no time.
