While alcohol in moderation (up to 1 drink per day for women and 2 drinks per day for men) is OK, there are definitely benefits to choosing a mocktail instead! Alcoholic drinks also contain quite a few calories that can add up quickly depending on your choice of beverage. Temperatures are going to be HIGH this week!
