A: One afternoon with a few drinks will not cause you to gain weight (fat). Some drinks can make you feel bloated the next day and if you drink TOO much you could become dehydrated. That said wine coolers don’t have much acohol but contain a mass amount of sugar. Iv’e seen more people get sick on those than anything. I would opt for a couple low carb beers (michelob ultra) or a wine spritzer (wine mixed with sparkling water or gingerale) instead. Also, drink a glass of water in between each drink. This will help you to not get a hangover and keep you from getting wasted. Hope you have fun!Cynthia
