When the holiday season rolls
around, my younger daughter gets a
gleam in her eye. She knows that
eggnog will be fin seasoni at the gro-
cery store. If I want a sample, I have
to have a cup of it right away or hide
the carton in the refrigerator we keep
in the garage.
If the eggnog is kept in the refrig-
erator in our kitchen, I find an empty
carton in the trash within a day. Last
year, we had a difficult time finding
eggnog in stores near us.
I like eggnog, too, especially with
an extra sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
The recipe Iim sharing this week is
lower in calories than typical com-
mercial eggnog.
Special beverages ranging from
fruit punch to sparkling juice to a va-
riety of alcohol-containing cocktails,
wine and champagne also make reg-
ular appearances at this time of the
year. Yes, sometimes people add al-
cohol to eggnog to make it an adult
beverage, too.
Letis begin with some safety re-
minders. If you choose to consume
alcohol-containing beverages and are
legally old enough to do so, modera-
tion is important for many reasons.
Adults should plan to have a desig-
nated nondrinking driver on occa-
sions when they plan to indulge in
alcohol-containing beverages. Preg-
nant women should not consume any
alcohol. ~
Alcohol intake can, affect, medica-
tions. Be sure to discuss with your
health-care provider and/pr pharma-
cist the effects of alcohol consump-
tion on prescription and
nonprescription medications.
On the other hand, you may have
read about red wine and other alco-
hol-containing beverages and their
relationship to improving health. For
example, researchers have noted that
a compound (resveratrol) in red
wine, as well as red and purple grape
juice, may be linked to health bene-
fits.
The antiox{dant compounds in
grapes may help reduce blood cho-
lesterol and help you maintain a
healthy blood pressure. Most of the
research has been done on wine con-
~umption instead of juice consump-
tion.
Despite the research, the 2015 Di-
etary Guidelines for Americans does
not recommend starting to drink al-
cohol if you havenft consumed alco-
hol in the past. Adding alcohol to
your diet does not offer great health
advantages.
In other words, eat more whole
fruit instead of drinking fermented
fruit juice.
How can we ring in the New Year
and enjoy some spirits if we choose?
I think we all know that alcohol-con-
taining beverages arenff exactly easy
on the waistline. Calories from bev-
erages often do not satisfy hunger the
way food calories do. If you are
thirsty, go with water as your bever-
age of choice.
Remember iportion sizei as it ap-
plies to alcohol-containing bever-
ages, too. Each of these equals one
]drink~: 12 fluid ounces of regular
beer (5 percent alcohol), 5 fluid
ounces of wine (12 percent alcohol)
or 1.5 fluid ounces of 80 proof dis-
tilled spirits (40 percent alcohol).
If you consume alcohol, modera-
tion is key. The Dietary Guidelines
for Americans stresses a maximum
of two alcoholic beverages per day
for men and one alcoholic beverage
per day for women.
Why is the daily limit lower for
women than men? Women usually
weigh less than men, and a womanfs
body composition is different from
that of a man. Women have less
water in their bodies than men.
If a woman and man of the same
weight each drink the same amount
of alcohol, the woman will have a
higher blood alcohol content, ac-
cording to the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Drinking coffee or other caf-
feinated beverages will not change
blood alcohol content. Only time will
lower blood alcohol content.
If you like to have an occasional
adult beverage, pace yourself. Enjoy
a glass of wine, a mixed drink or a
cup of ispiked~ eggnog, then have a
glass of water or sparkling juice as
your follow-up drink. Always drink
responsibly.
As I wrote this column one
evening, I remembered that I still had
a carton of eggnog in my garage re-
frigerator. My daughter hasnft dis-
covered it yet; Therefore, this was an
eggnog-fueled column, free of any
alcohol, by the way.
Herefs a delicious recipe for
homemade eggnog courtesy of the
Midwest Dairy Association. The nu-
trition analysis was done at NDSU.
For safety, you must use pasteurized
eggs or a pasteurized egg product.
Pasteurized eggs have undergone a
gentle heating process that inacti-
vates bacteria (such as salmonella)
that might be present. Look for eggs
that are labeled as ipasteurized3 Do
not substitute lregular~ eggs, or those
that arenft labeled as lpasteurized3
Homemade Vanilla Eggnog

teurized egg product such as Egg
Beaters)
