It’s inevitable. You’ve been soooo good with following your fitness and nutrition program, then it happens. You get that “It’s girl’s night!” text in your group chat. Great. Now what!? Sounds like you might need a Drink Guide.

You don’t want to fall off the wagon, but… it IS girl’s night and you need a break after this crazy week. That one guy ghosted you, you crushed that meeting at work and you’ve been eating chicken and broccoli all week. You need this.

Before we get to the fun stuff, I need to give you a warning. BEWARE of that friend who, even with the best of intentions, will sabotage you. You know who he/she is. Their name already popped up in your head. Yes, the one. If you listen to her, you’ll be four drinks in and knuckle deep in parmesan truffle fries in less than three hours. The best way to get around this situation is to PLAN AHEAD. Pull up the menu on Yelp. Decide on what you’re going to eat and chose your drink choice in advance and it will be so much easier to stick to it!!
