    A woman of fine taste! Fernet, Campari or Unicum are my nightcap when I'm having one, and wine is... wine!

    Omg @SabAteNine I forgot about Unicum my father-in-law has a bottle and I never knew what it was called.

    The only thing I drink with calories is the 2% milk in my morning coffee. The rest of the day, it's tea (no milk), flavored sugar free water, seltzer, mineral water, and on occasion, a diet root beer.

    Black coffee has calories. Anywhere between 1 and 5.

    Thanks for setting me straight. I can “finance” that with my daily budget. I prefer to chew my calories rather than drink them.

    Number of liquid calories I’ve consumed since beginning my weight loss journey on 8/31/2018 is ZERO.

    My favorite liquid beverage:

    1) Single cup of strong black coffee in the morning - currently Italian Roast or a Peet’s Cafe Americano,

    2). San Pellagrino acqua minerale,

    3). Distilled water with squeeze of lime.

    What about you?

    What, no protein shakes?

    Ya, that plus ingredients to add fat, fiber, and flavor is my breakfast.

    Coffee with flavored CoffeeMate or cream & sugar.

    Protein shakes when I'm in a workout groove and more carefully watching my protein macros.

    I put Crystal Light packets in my water sometimes.

    And of course, wine and cocktails here and there.

    Soy piccolo 46 calories only😁

    I've never heard of this. Is it just soy milk sold in small containers?

    I like making vegetable juice in my Vitamix.
    Beet-Spinach
    Kale
    Heirloom tomato

    Sometimes I drink my greens- esp with a scoop of protein powder. It’s hard for me to eat 2/3 cups of greens - but pulverized into a juice - no prob. ☺️

    I mostly drink water but usually have 1 cup of milk a day. I drink either 2% Fairlife or Chocolate Fairlife. I also drink 1 or 2 black teas a day with Splenda and a bit of honey. On occasion, I will drink OJ but it has to be fresh squeezed. I do like bubbly, fruit infused waters like LaCroix.

    What I don't use calories on is soda or alcohol.

    I feel like the OP intended for people to be one-upping eachother in the other direction lol

    Does custard count as liquid calories? Or gravy? Garlic mayo?

    This is what I thought the thread would turn into. I was going to see if my CT contrast counted (130 cals) or if the 3 Sprites I drank as part of my liquid diet before my colonoscopy counted (since you have to drink your calories on a liquid diet). Then I remembered that Coke Zero has trace calories and I figured I drink one or two of them a day so I was out anyway. Oh, and milk shakes. i consider them dessert but I guess I do drink them. And I am going to continue to do so...just as soon as Baskin Robbins brings back the Bananas Foster ice cream.

    Never tried that mix. I usually just do campari and soda - refreshing and perfect!

    No no no.
    Campari with tonic and ice is the true way.

    No no no no, it has to be Campari and soda with ice.
    (Same for Martini, red or white.)

    Cheers, h.

    Life without IPA, ever? Nuh uh, not happening.

    At least a cup and a half of hot nonfat milk in my coffee every day. (It's a good contributor to my protein total.)

    Random wine and liquor, fairly often. (They're good contributors to happiness and social connection.)

    No soda/pop, or protein shakes, though. Don't care for 'em.

    Often:
    - Coffee with flavored creamer
    - Diet soda
    - Wine

    Occasional:
    - Beer (IPA usually)
    - Water (transitioning to the "often" column)

    I love diet ginger ale! Black coffee too and tea and other than that just water sometimes with lemon. I don’t really get any of my calories from what I drink except when I drink red wine or beer or Baileys Irish cream which I’ve been sipping on lately. So nice in cold weather :-)

    I dont drink my calories to often except for about 50 daily in my bullet proof coffee. I will drink milk twice a week and only have soda once week as a chaser with whiskey for the most part water water water!
