    Infused vodka -- you get extra flavor but no extra calories. You can buy it or make your own. Here are directions to make several different kinds from Real Simple:

    Ingredients
    1 liter vodka
    flavorings, such as 1½ cups fresh pineapple chunks, 4 vanilla beans, or 3 halved and seeded jalapeños
    glass bottles with tight seals

    Directions
    Divide the vodka and desired flavorings among the bottles.
    Refrigerate until the vodka reaches the desired level of infusion, at least 3 days and up to 1 week. Remove the flavorings after 1 week or instruct the recipient to do so. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 months.

    I LOVE margaritas - but not all the calories! Using my juicer, I made some this past Friday night from this cooking light recipe (130 calories versus 410!):

    The Cooking Light Margarita:
    1 ounce premium or silver tequila, 1/2 ounce Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur, 1.5 ounces fresh-squeezed lime juice. Shake with 3/4 cup ice; garnish with lime.

    I like to drink Captain Morgan and Diet Coke. This is a struggle for me as I have to admit ... about once a week I like to throw more than a few down :) Trying to save my calories today to be able to drink my calories. Not an alkie but love my one night a week to let my hair down and have some fun! Its always a struggle the next day when your body wants carbs after the alcohol but I will deal with it :)

    same here with the drinking, I like my Fridays and sometimes Wednesday. :)

    I mostly drink beer or Palm Bays Iced Teas... prob should change to vodka and diet coke but scarred of over doing it with vodka.

    Gin and tonic with diet tonic water. Roughly 100 calories a cup, depending on how heavy you pour the gin.
