But, while there&#8217;s no shame in that game, it&#8217;s easy to forget about those liquid calories you&#8217;re sipping.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, they can add up fast\u2014especially if you&#8217;re drinking on the regular. And, before you know it, you&#8217;ve sabotaged the healthy eating plan you&#8217;ve laid out for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Calories from alcohol can add up fast,&#8221; Christy\u00a0Brissette, MS, RD,\u00a0owner of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.80TwentyNutrition.com\">80 Twenty Nutrition<\/a>, tells <em>Health<\/em>. &#8220;And, because alcohol doesn&#8217;t provide nutrients or fill you up, these calories are usually in addition to what you&#8217;re already eating and drinking.&#8221; Drinking also can make you feel less inhibited, so you&#8217;re more likely to overeat, she says.<\/p>\n<p>While some forms of alcohol contain a fair number of calories on their own (looking at you, triple sec), a big issue in all of this is mixers, Keri Gans, MS, RD, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Small-Change-Diet-Thinner-Healthier\/dp\/B0058M64GO\"><em>The Small Change Diet<\/em><\/a>, tells <em>Health<\/em>. &#8220;Many of the mixers we add to alcoholic drinks are high in sugar and provide no nutritional benefit,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you don&#8217;t need to swap your chardonnay for seltzer every time you want to celebrate. Just make wiser decisions when it comes to choosing what to drink.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To cut calories in most drinks, you can play with the ratios of ingredients,&#8221; Beth Warren, MS, RD, founder of\u00a0Beth Warren\u00a0Nutrition and author of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Secrets-Kosher-Girl-21-Day-Nourishing\/dp\/1682614999\"><em>Secrets of a Kosher Girl<\/em><\/a>, tells <em>Health<\/em>.
