It's one thing to keep a close eye on the things you eat throughout the day, but keeping track of calories in cocktails and other alcoholic beverages sounds like a mission Tom Cruise alone would be able to successfully complete.

The video above details how many calories people consume every time they decide to meet friends and/or family for a drink or two. Maybe even three, if something that simply must be celebrated has recently happened.

Apparently, a glass of wine has as many calories as a slice of cheese. Enjoying a beer, on the other hand, it not all that different to eating a rice krispies treat.

What I've found most shocking is that a simple pina colada packs an impressive 490 calories, which makes it the equivalent of a cheeseburger. But then again, who cares? That's why they invented gyms.
