hey all. Just wondering what are some of your favorite "healthier" alcoholic beverage options. Yes I know that alcohol is not healthy by any means, but when u do grab a glass what do you prefer?

    Wine is always a solid choice. The wine buzz is a good one too. It's crazy how different alcohol makes you feel differently than another.

    Good wine, but I also used to make mead. I've got a few cases left, and sometimes a girl needs a bit of mead.
    I'll probably start mead-making again some day, but right now, honey prices are through the roof and a lot of my equipment needs replacing.

    A pint of Guinness is less than 200 calories. Of course, I drink 3.

    White wine. Or whiskey and Diet Coke. Or Miller Lite. I'm not fancy, so neither are my drinks of choice, lol. Bonus is that what I like is lower on the calories.

    Mainly Sauvignon Blanc, but it is so cold tonight I wanted red. Tried Skinny Girl Red. 100 calories per glass. Not bad tasting. Of course I had too many glasses but had over 500 exercise calories today so still ended up with a deficit for the day.

    I like both of those. Wild Turk is my whiskey of choice. Not fancy at all.

    The last time I had Guinness it was trunk beer. Haven't drank it since. The stuff does not taste good hot.

    A glass of red wine, diet coke with some whiskey, or some cranberry juice with a little coconut rum and a splash of triple sec.

    Solid choice. I like a splash of something with it, unless I'm drinking good rum or whiskey. Vodka is so versatile though.
