If you're the type who watches what you eat but doesn't think twice about drinking a soda, coffee, smoothie, or beer, Men's Health suggests 16 healthy drink swaps to trim the extra calories from your beverages. It may seem insignificant, but according to the article:

As an example, the author suggests downing a 126-calorie Guiness as opposed to a 200-calorie Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Called Drink This, Not That, the article covers the beverage rainbow, not just beers, and is inspired by the similarly themed book
Eat This, Not That.
