With festive catch-ups aplenty can be very difficult not to overindulge when it comes to booze at Christmas.
Although Christmas is definitely the time to clink a few glasses with your pals, the impact your tipples can have on your weight over the festive period should also be considered.
By making some smarter choices at the bar this Christmas, you might be able to save yourself some self-loathing come January especially as alcohol is often just the tip of the iceberg of holiday gluttony.
Also worth considering is the recommended alcohol intake for both women and men, which is 14 units weekly, a guideline which often falls by the wayside come Christmas.
