Dr. Weil says to avoid drinking too many eggnog drinks during the holidays because of the high calorie content.

Eggnog: Made with milk, cream, sugar and eggs, eggnog can pack up to 460 calories in an eight-ounce serving – not including calories from alcohol. Think of it as an indulgent dessert and limit yourself during the holidays; sip it slowly to savor the taste.

If you must have one of these drinks make sure it’s a small serving, and have only one  :)
