You know, I used to have a glass of wine every night after work and for a while I even allotted the calories for it. I make wine here in my kitchen and I absolutely love it -- so it was hard when I realized that it was adding empty calories. So now when I drink wine I think maybe I appreciate it even more. Oh, who am I kidding, I appreciate it to the fullest no matter what! 

for me it's so not about the calories in the glass of wine or the can of beer; it's all about the extra calories that I consume after that because my guard is down. And yes, Unizee - I too appreciate it to the fullest no matter what!!! 

Exactly Unizee! Wine makes me happy. I'm trying to channel my 21 year old self living at home over the summer in college. My mom would make me a jug of sun tea every day, and I'd drink the whole thing! That was the best shape I've ever been in at 135 pounds. I don't need to be THAT thin again, but getting to less than 170 would be awesome. 

You can cut the wine with equal amounts of sparkling water. It will change the taste some but its not terrible. Saving 120 calories for every 5 oz of wine deleted
