I go out with my friends quite a bit and I'm not a big fan of beers or wines. Do you have a favorite mixed drinks that doesn't break the calorie bank?

    Straight spirits aren't terribly caloric; about 130 calories for a 2 oz pour of 80 proof (40% abv) liquor. Maybe find a nice sweet bourbon you can drink either straight up or with club soda, water, or rocks?

    Vodka on the rocks, whisky on the rocks, anything straight liquor on the rocks(except jager....disgusting)... and I'll do wine too.

    Non-alcoholic, teas and water.

    Alcohol, my go-to is rum & diet coke. Couldn't tell you the calories though.

    In the summer I drink vodka and diet fresca. When it's cold out, I like bourbon. I also like beer and the occasional glass of wine.

    Very sweet liqueurs like Jaegermeister will be more caloric than straight spirits anyway.

    Whiskey neat! Although for me at weekends, I don't log my calorie intake. I just take 2 days out a week and loosen up either be takeaways and beers n whiskies. I know loads people say not the way to do it, but it's working for me, I work hard weekdays with exercise and calorie intake.

    Are you still aware of what your eating? Trying to eat within your calorie goal? I'd be worried I'd undo all of my hard work.

    Diet coke with lime. No calories, and cheaper than any booze! But then I never got why people want to get intoxicated anyway.

    Spiced rum and ginger ale would be my pick for booze.

    Every time I drink alcohol for social reasons, my decision making abilities about calories and food choices go right out the window. So I decided screw peer pressure, I have no actual desire to drink, so I won't.
