How many gals are trying to watch their weight (or over did it the night before) but the pressure (temptation) is put on? Sunday football comes around, and everyone is gathered at your local Irish pub, but you just want to play to cool for the day.

Here are five good girl drinks with some bad boy names, so no one will know you'll taking it easy on the witch's brew.

(Don't worry, Shirley Temple and Roy Rodgers were not invited to this party.)
