When you're out with your friends and everyone's drinking and you decide you want a drink, have a drink that won't end up destroying all your weight loss hard work. This article is dedicated to helping you find the best drinks when your out with friends. We will skip all the boring reasons and scientific research into why it is you shouldn't drink especially if you're trying to lose weight and get fit, and focus rather on what to do when you have decided to go ahead and have a cold one.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know when you have had too much to drink and damage is done. Generally your body lets you know the next day with a serious hangover. When this happens it always seems that the best possible remedy is a greasy calorie loaded meal that is of course detrimental to anyone trying to lose weight and get fit. However you need to be realistic and know that having a drink occasionally is not so bad, after all a good drink has the ability to relieve a little stress, calm you down, and lift up your mood. Caution though is needed when you decide to drink as not all drinks are created the same. This is similar to the food that you choose to eat or not to eat, not all food is created equal, while some of it can be okay other types of food need to be avoided at all times, the same would be true for certain cocktails.

Being prepared ahead of time so that when a scenario is put before you that will more than likely end up in a way that could be bad you will have already had the knowledge and wisdom to know what to avoid or what to choose. When you read on further you will learn of the five best drinks and why they are okay. They're okay for you not because they are low cost or because they taste really good but for health-related reasons and how they affect your body. This should be primary concern for anyone who's losing weight and getting in shape knowing the reasons why their good and how they affect your health will make a difference.

Red wine is one of the best cocktails anyone can drink. This is mentioned first in our article not because it's better than some of the other drinks but because it is usually one of the most consumed alcoholic beverages in the world and because it is usually available anywhere. There has been much written about red wine in regards to its health benefits, from the fact that it has antioxidants to how it can even help with certain minor ailments. In fact not to get biblical or anything but I believe there are even a few scriptures in the Bible that talk about how a little red wine is good for your body.

Since red wine is what's mentioned in this article specifically do not wrongly assume that white wine is not equally if not better for your body. The research that has been done shows almost in every case that both wines offer health benefits. The really interesting fact as of late is that actually white wine has a little bit higher antioxidant level as well as being somewhat more beneficial in other health areas. What all this research really means is that for the health-conscious you cannot go wrong if you're going to drink a cocktail by choosing wine.

Crossing over the Atlantic now to the land that is just as much known for leprechauns and shamrocks as beer, Ireland is known for its most popular beer Guinness Stout which is said to be just as much a meal as it is a drink. What makes Guinness unique in comparison to other beers is that one Guinness can satisfy the average person about as much as a 12 pack of Corona light. What's really surprising is that even though it gives the appearance of being loaded with calories it actually is not and is also high in iron making it one of the best non-microbrewed beers you can drink.

If you've just had a horrible day and a little red wine or Guinness won't cut it, drinking some top shelf liquor on the rocks or with a little bit of water is also a good way to go. Top shelf liquor is recommended because it cost more and therefore is better but top shelf liquor usually comes without the impurities that lesser quality alcohol has. Due to the fact it has less impurities it typically taste better and therefore lends itself to being consumed without the addition of any colas or juices or anything like that that contains sugars and more calories. Top shelf liquor is designed to be consumed by itself with no help from any other additive.

If you find though that you do love hard liquor over beer but still feel the need to sprinkle something in with it. The best choice hands down is a vodka soda. Now this should not be confused with vodka tonic as tonic water a can be high in calories and sugars. Soda water on the other hand is basically just water with a few bubbles and when you add in a little bit of vodka and a dash of lime you end up with a refreshing cocktail that won't set your progress back a couple of weeks.

The fifth best cocktail for your body is really for all those beer lovers out there that don't just love beer but love good beer in different flavors. If you find yourself scoffing at a Guinness your still in luck as micro brewed beers can be a great alternative. If you're wondering why on earth microbrewed beer is better than the typical beer found in your local grocery store the answer is actually quite simple.

The mass-produced beers of America are typically quite a bit cheaper in price than their microbrewed counterparts. This is because mass-produced beers are made for profits with the ingredients usually being lower quality and their beers containing artificial colors and flavors as well as other junk that can be found on the ingredients labels of most snack foods. Microbreweries on the other hand have a tendency to stick to European brewing codes that do not allow for junk ingredients. That is why micro brewed beers tend to be a safe choice for those who are health conscious and watching their weight.

These five cocktails will always be a safe bet when you're out on the town with your friends. These drinks will go a long way to help you make sure that what you drink is not loaded with junk and calories. When the time comes and you feel like you need a cocktail you should have no reason to feel like you shouldn't have one or be nervous about the next day. The need to have a drink to relieve a little stress and anxiety is not a bad option for those that are trying to lose weight and get fit as long as you stick with these choices you can rest assured you made a good decision.

With these five cocktail choices you will be okay not to hinder your workout routines or dieting habits. One of the funnest and sweat inducing cardio options for those that like the idea of exercising in their home is Rockin Body you're high octane cardio dance party.
