Congratulate yourself after a tough workout with these low calorie cocktails!

Pure alcohol, whether it's in beer, wine or liquor, contains seven calories per gram. And we've all heard the usual advice: Enjoy antioxidant-rich red wine; skip the fat-laden spiked eggnog. But not all drinks between those bookends are equally good choices, so herewith, our guide to the sauce!

DRINK: BLOODY MARY This classic vodka mixture gets a thumbs-up for tomato juice, which packs in vitamins A, C and B6, and has only one-third the calories of orange or pineapple juice, making Mary quite svelte at 120 calories for a regular five-ounce cocktail.

SKIP: SEX ON THE BEACH There are endless varieties of this vodka mixer. Not only does it include other calorie-rich booze like schnapps and rum, but sometimes fat- and cholesterol-laden heavy cream is also used. Count on a minimum of 300 calories for a four-ounce cocktail, and likely a lot more.

DRINK: TOM COLLINS Gin, club soda, lemon juice and a pinch of sugar rack up only 120 calories for a half pint (eight ounces). The ally for such drinks is sparkling water, which you can add to taste without offending the drink--make a tall glass for long, slow sipping.

SKIP: MARGARITA Often delivered in supersized portions with three drinks' worth of alcohol, some of the 12-ounce vats served at restaurants tally more than 700 calories. We're not sure what the nutritional value of the tequila worm is, but we doubt it's good.

DRINK: GUINNESS DRAUGHT It's surprising but true: The stout variety--not the extra stout--of this classic, dark Irish brew packs only 125 calories for 12 ounces. That's barely more than pale, flavorless 100-calorie light beers. Despite the name, Guinness Draught is available in bottles and cans, which include a little widget that bangs around inside and adds taplike fizz when the container is opened.

SKIP: MOLSON XXX At 7.3 percent alcohol, a 12-ounce bottle packs 213 calories. With weak, bland malts and hops, it's little more than a conduit for delivering a buzz. 

If these are still too high in calories, 

a nice shot glass and a lime works too!

Enjoy- you deserve it!
