HuffPost recently spoke with a registered dietitian , to offer readers tips for "mindful drinking" , to mark the end of "Dry January.".

1.

Official guidelines, According to the CDC, men should have no more than two drinks a day, while women should have no more than one.

Those specific guidelines also point out that it doesn’t mean seven drinks in a week for women, it means one drink a day — so not drinking for five days and then drinking six drinks on the sixth day is not the same thing, Christine Byrne, registered dietitian and the owner of Ruby Oak Nutrition in Raleigh, North Carolina, via HuffPost.

2.

Stay hydrated, A good practice is following up any alcoholic drink with a glass of water.

Alcohol should not replace meals, Alcohol lacks necessary nutrition like protein, fiber or fats, while still containing calories.

5.
