Skinny tipples

'Alcohol contributes to fat storage,’ says Healthspan nutritionist Rob Hobson. Choose these caloriesaving drinks to stop you piling on the pounds over the festive season.

✱ GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE

Sip the ultimate party drink with only 90 cals per 120ml – there’s 160 cals in a 175ml glass of sweet white wine.

✱ GIN AND SLIMLINE TONIC Swap your regular G&T for the slimline option to shave off 60 cals per drink.

✱ LIGHT LAGER

At under 100 cals per bottle, the best low-cal beers taste just as great. Try Bud Light beer (£3.50 per four pack, Tesco).

✱ TEQUILA AND SODA Compared to a calorific margarita cocktail, a single tequila shot, soda water and lime wedge will save over 150 cals.
