While the jury's still out on the benefits of daily tequila consumption, and there's no arguing about the detriments of overdoing it, alcohol-wise (via Cleveland Clinic), if you do decide to indulge in a daily margarita, it's best to stick with homemade options rather than the kind you find in the multicolored frozen drink machines spinning behind the bar.
Very Well Fit notes that portion size can be a problem when it comes to highly caloric restaurant margaritas. Depending on the serving size, when ordered out, one margarita can be the equivalent of two cocktails. Made with fresh ingredients at home, a margarita can come in at a reasonable 150 calorie count. On the other hand, ordering, say, a sugar-rimmed Strawberry Lobsterita from Red Lobster, weighs in at a whopping 500 calories with 82 grams of carbs.
If the calorie count alone isn't enough to make you rethink that marg, Women's Health offers a play-by-play of how the body breaks down sugar and alcohol. Spoiler: It doesn't end well. Doubling down on the not so healthful aspects of a daily margarita, The Insider explains that oftentimes store bought mixes contain twice as many calories as the tequila that gives them their kick.
If you are counting calories, tequila has the upper hand over many spirits. Healthline endorses the agave-based spirit for its relatively low calorie and sugar content along with being free of carbohydrates.
