You just need to be smart about it. Choosing Cocktails Low in Calories and Sugar When selecting your Thanksgiving cocktails, choose the options with the fewest calories and the least amount of sugar. A glass of dry white or red wine, such as Chardonnay or Shiraz, fit the bill, as does light beer.

You’re not in charge of the Thanksgiving meal this year.
