How often do you and your friends or family visit popular American chain restaurants like Olive Garden, Red Robin, Texas Roadhouse, Cheesecake Factory, TGI Friday’s, Red Lobster, Chili’s, Outback Steakhouse, and Applebee’s?
Considering the fact that combined there are approximately 8,400 of these restaurants worldwide, odds are pretty good that you or someone you know frequents at least one of them.
And if you do, odds are also pretty good that you’ve had yourself a beverage or three while you’ve dined at one of these restaurants.
Unfortunately, according to Eat This, Not That!, some of the cocktails these restaurants are serving have as many or more calories than the entrée you will be eating.
