| 450.1 | Tonic water is like any other soft drink - fattening! | DLOACT::RESENDEP | Live each day as if it were Friday | Thu May 11 1989 15:05 | 10 |
| I know for a fact that tonic water is loaded with calories. I remember
my surprise years ago when I learned that it contains lots and lots
of sugar. Doesn't taste like it, does it?
I'm not totally sure about club soda and soda water, but I believe
those are both calorie-free, though some contain sodium. Perhaps
someone can tell us for sure...

| 450.2 | Club soda is great | COOKIE::WILCOX | Database Systems/West | Thu May 11 1989 18:30 | 3 |
| Club soda is free of calories, but does contain salts/minerals, whatever
you call them. I LOVE the stuff with a wedge of lime.

| Thank You Pat and Liz for the info I needed!!! Now I can have a
few (2-3) drinks on weekends using club soda and not feel too too
guilty!! I know, I know, I should cut out drinking altogether.....
maybe someday I will.......anyway, thanks again!!

| I too enjoy a drink occasionally. WW actually allows a light beer,
counted in the optional calories. But I've found another way to
feel like I've had a "cocktail" before dinner. Have you ever tried
the Mr & Mrs T's mixes? Well, I keep the little 6-ounce cans of
their Bloody Mary mix at home. While I'm fixing dinner at night,
I pour one over ice in a wine glass and pretend I'm having a Bloody
Mary. The mix is good, *really* good, even without alcohol in it.
The wine glass makes it seem like a drink, and since the taste is
good, I find it satisifies that desire most of the time. And for
only 35 calories or something like that. Try it!
