FRESH LIME MARGARITA
Let’s put alcohol into perspective. Pure alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram, which makes it nearly twice as caloric as carbohydrates or protein (both contain about 4 calories per gram) and only just under the caloric value for fat (9 calories per gram). This does not mean it is not worth it. Just keep it in perspective = moderation.
