Clearly the more calories you consume, the more you'll pack on the pounds. But many of us don't "consider" drinks, like juice and  ice tea something to think about when we're adding up calories.  [I think it's a liquid is not a food mental thing.]  Some tips to make sure you're calculating the calories in your beverage properly?  Make sure to calculate not just serving size, but the entire beverage. Also, think about this.  If you cut 500 calories from your diet a day, you'll loose a pound a week.
# Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino:  

 
          o Tall (12 oz.) = 200 calories

          o Grande (16 oz.) = 260 calories

          o Venti (24 oz.) = 380 calories

Your Starbucks Mocha Frappuccinos are certainly going to pile on the pounds, but I don't think you have to worry about regular coffee drinks like lattes etc. The amount of calories in milk is negligible so so long as you stick to lattes and cappuccinos, you should be fine. At least I think so!
