True or False? Non-alcoholic Holiday beverages are healthier than alcoholic holiday beverages.

Trick question (sorry!). The answer is, it depends. What’s beverages are we talking about, and what’s your personal measurement of “healthy?”

During the holidays it’s easy to convince ourselves that non-alcoholic beverages are better for us because, well, they don’t have alcohol.  While that may be true, the hard fact is that even without the added impact of alcohol, some of the most popular holiday drinks are just as calorie-dense and laden with undesirable substances as your favorite cocktail. 

The weather is cooling down and fall weather is finally here (at least a couple days a week!).  Which means… it’s tea season. In my personal opinion there is nothing quite like a hot cup of tea during the cool weather, and especially the winter. I particularly love it in the evening.  There’s nothing quite like relaxing with your hands wrapped around your favorite mug to end the day.  But I’ll be honest, I’ll drink it all day long on a really cold wintery day.  I actually have quite the collection of teas in my cabinets because different times of day call for different teas… obviously ;)  But in actuality, I’m sensitive to caffeine, so different times of the day really does call for different teas!
