    Wow! Never really thought that a “drink” could actually have way more calories than a full meal. That is just crazy - thanks for the great breakdown of calories, sugar, etc. Very enlightening!

    If you get wasted at the end of the night and throw up does that cancel it out?

    Skip the pina colada entirely? That’s a defeatist attitude!

    Make it with light coconut milk, stevia, and frozen pineapple, along with rum. Blend it yourself and you have a tasty summer cocktail that won’t destroy your waistline.

      Brilliant. I suppose I’m a pragmatist and I realize that’ll NEVER happen if you’re out and about; HOWEVER, if you’re making home-made, that’s a bomb combination.

      Thanks for that, I’m going to have to test it out.
