hi guys
I like a drink on a Saturday night and normally have a few beers and some rum and coke!
Just wanted to know what drinks would be better for me? Thanks

Switch that coke to diet coke and you are good.
I switch to vodka and water with mio in the summer to help stay hydrated.0 -
Home fermented, dark basement aged Blackberry-Elderberry Wine.
Gotta grow some canes and bushes first, though ... and then wait 5 or 6 years ... but it's worth the wait!0 -
whatever works within your calorie allowance0

This made me chuckle After about 5-6 years I should be skinny enough to drink it

Jim Beam and Diet Coke works for me.0

Beer is non-negotiable for me. I just make sure I leave room in my budget. I estimate calories as abv%*30 for a 12 ounce pour.
Lower gravity choices like session pale ales or wheat beers make it easier to have more drinks, but 'tis for doppelbocks and bourbon-barrel-aged barleywines.0 -
Thanks guys I need to stick to spirits mostly as I have bad psoraisis should have mentioned that! But helpful advice0

Spirits? Just drink whiskey. Neat or over ice. Don't mix it with anything.
Or do rum and diet coke.
Straight liquor is surprisingly low (ish) in calories compared to many other things you could be drinking.
Best part about drinking whiskey is all the various yummy kinds to learn about.0 -
Be a gentleman and sip bourbon.0

I like to sip tequila and bourbon.
Sometimes have a cocktail (Manhattans, Sweet Tequinis, Vodka Martinis FTW).
Guinness is surprisingly low cal for a beer (when I can't fit a nice IPA or three in).
Beware the Gin & Tonic advice -- tonic is surprisingly calorific (and tonic is one of the few soda-like mixers where I really taste a difference - in a bad way - in diet / no-cal options).0 -
The best drinks for you are the ones you like. The worst ones are the ones you don't like. I say go for what you like and set aside the calories. What's the point of going out for a drink if you're not going to have what you want? That's what I think anyway.0

vanilla vodka and ginger beer!!0

Hi I have a 20 year hospitality background working in bars/bottle shops, and along the way read some facts about this. Barcardi is listed as the lowest in calories for spirits, beer is a lot lower in calories than spirits, and red wine has half the calories of white wine.
Hope this helps.... A good one to try is Barcardi with soda water (cutting out sugar instead from coke or lemonade) you can add natural juice in like lemon or lime juice, or cut a lemon or lime and place pieces into your glass, mint can also be added if you have a nice one for something different. Hope this is helpful. good luck on your weightloss journey.0 -
