    It really depends on what is worth the calories TO YOU. Also, you can "bank calories," e.g. eat 100 cal low Mon-Thu to give yourself an extra 400 cal Fri night.

    People with a really strong preference for eating their calories can avoid all caloric beverages, not just alcohol. For others, having an occasional adult beverage makes deficit eating not only sustainable but also enjoyable. There are no rules. (Well, moderation is really helpful, here.) Let your own preferences and enjoyment be your guide. Cheers!

    I say skip all mixers and do straight liquor chased by a zero calorie beverage. Not the best tasting but it'll minimize the caloric impact of drinking.

    Whatever you like! Just follow up each glass with a glass of water. Alcohol dehydrates you very quickly. Also, don't beat yourself up for drinking once in a while. If you have a solid nutrition plan to get back to after a night of drinking you'll be able to enjoy it without feeling guilty

    Top shelf rum, neat. None of that mixer.

    I recommend El Dorado 15 year, Ron Zacapa XO and Pyrat XO Reserve

    This person is smart

    Tito's vodka with a squeeze of lime and splash of soda water is very nice too.

    OP...If you have to ask what to drink you are not a 'drinker' and I have the feeling that you will enjoy yourself whatever alcoholic drink you choose....you certainly deserve to :)

    I like Vodka and club. I also like Canadian Club and diet ginger ale, but bars and restaurants never have any diet soda except Coke.

    My "best" when I'm cutting calories is to spend twice as much per bottle of wine but drink half the amount for (almost) the same pleasure.
    Unless I fancy a gin & (slimline) tonic.
    Or a good quality beer.
    Or sometimes cider.

    OP - considering your calorie allowance as a weekly allowance rather than trying to balance the books on a daily basis might make fitting your treats and special events into your diet less restrictive.
