I used to love a drink at night. What better way to shut off one’s brain and unwind before bed? Then I discovered a chart that really opened my eyes:

Okay, so the first entry is decidedly British. Cider and the odd snack of beans and toast aren’t really on my radar. A pint of bittter, aka a little more than a can of beer, is more to my liking. Three beers a night is the perfect buzz, but that means I’m eating three doughnuts? At night when I’m not burning calories? Not to mention that drinking gives me the munchies and I usually end up snacking.

They say wine is healthier, and I do prefer it even more than beer, but a glass of wine equals a slice of cake? Honestly, I’d rather eat two slices of cake than have a couple glasses of wine. In fact, I can gladly give up drinking just for that pleasure. Chocolate reigns supreme!

Or maybe I should go for a slice of cake along with three shots of vodka. How’s that for a happy compromise?
