In this concise YouTube segment, Eric Roberts outlines which alcoholic beverages to avoid when trying to maintain a calorie deficit and which lower‑calorie options are better choices. He lists high‑calorie drinks such as Mudslide (≈500 kcal), Piña Colada (≈450 kcal), Long Island Iced Tea (≈425 kcal), Margaritas, and IPA beers, advising viewers to skip them. He then recommends lower‑calorie alternatives that stay under or around 100 kcal per serving, including vodka soda with lime, Ranch Water, White Claw, Michelob Ultra, any light beer, whiskey on the rocks, dry red or white wine, a skinny margarita, an Ariel Spritz, and an espresso martini. Roberts closes with a caution that alcohol consumption often triggers overeating, so viewers must stay mindful to preserve their calorie deficit.
