For some, losing weight can be a pretty sad experience. All of the nachos, pies and chocolate get tossed out in favour of green leaves, berries and an ever-changing array of seeds. Plus you’ll probably have to take up exercising, which for many translates directly to “cruel and unusual punishment.”

With all of these traumatic changes going on, it’s only natural to want to reach for a drink. Unfortunately, many diets frown upon your evening tipple, leaving you more miserable than ever.

This, however, doesn’t have to be the case. It’s perfectly possible to enjoy a drink or two as part of your weight-loss regime. Follow this alcohol guide to make the smartest alcohol choices while you're on a diet.
