A) 240 cal
B) 400 cal
C) 550 cal
D) 740 cal
The answer is D) 740 calories. Considering that an average person should be consuming between 1500 and 2000 calories, that is a pretty scary number -- one margarita is the equivalent of half of your daily calories. And who just has one?
Other cocktails that made the list included the Pina Colada, Long Island Iced Tea, the white Russian and the Mai Tai. So the moral of the story is: if you must drink and you're counting calories, stick to the wine or the light beer.
