Farmgirls, I thought this was interesting for those of us who imbibe or serve alcoholic beverages this time of year (or any other time of year or day, haha)
Tipsy Tip from REALAGE.com Watch out. Cocktails may sneak up on you this holiday season if you use a diet mixer. How quickly alcohol goes to your head depends on how fast it leaves your stomach. And the artificial sweetener in diet mixers or diet versions of popular ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages causes the alcohol to pass through the stomach and into the bloodstream more quickly than nondiet mixers and beverages. Finally -- a reason to be naughty instead of stick-to-your-diet nice!
