Drinking Healthy?

BEER

Drink This:
Guinness Draught
126 calories
10 g. carbohydrates

Not That:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
175 calories
14 g. carbohydrates

Save 49 calories a beer!
Surprised? Most people think of Guinness as a beer milk shake: dark, thick, and rich enough to inspire guilt along with the intense pleasure. But a 12-ounce mug is as low in calories as many watery light beers, and it can save you up to 50 calories over other full-flavored brews, such as Sierra Nevada. Switch out a six-pack a week and you'll save yourself more than 4 pounds this year. Brilliant!

Sip smartly
Stick with this bottle because the Extra Stout version packs an extra 50 calories.
