Drink versus dessert; which one is actually worse?

Holidays ain’t the greatest time to be dieting. Still, a lot of people are hoping not to gain that five or 10 pounds over the holidays, and that involves some concessions.

Instead of giving up entire meals, most people will try to cut back on one thing or two. The foods with the most calories are alcohol and sweets. Preferably, hardcore dieters would give up them both, but you don’t want to be a total calorie Grinch. So you’re at the Christmas table and the wine starts flowing. Do you pass and wait for dessert or say yes to the wine and exit before dessert?

After the jump, a special Pitch-made chart and a BBC game to help you figure out the answer.
