Birthday coming up and don’t want to completely sabotage! What’s the go-to beverage?!

Whatever you like, just drink less of it.

It may be prudent to stay away from drinks that have a lot of fruit juice in them like margaritas and daiquiris or that have high calorie mixers like a White Russian. If you can stand the taste, get something mixed with diet soda like a rum and diet coke. I usually go with wine because I can sip it and it takes a long time to finish the glass.

I second the idea of vodka mixed with a diet Coke (you could even do a vanilla diet Coke). Also, I just saw this on Pinterest: take one of those Sparkling Ice sparkling waters and mix with vodka. You could add fruit to make it more fancy That actually looked pretty good, and I imagine you could experiment with different flavors.

I like to make mixed drinks with flavored seltzers. Lime flavored seltzer with tequila or orange flavored seltzer with whipped cream vodka. Coke zero with coconut rum is also yummy.

But mainly I just make one or two drinks that fit into my calorie count and don't go overboard.

Are you going out, or staying home?

If going out I'd do a vodka soda with lime, a Diet Coke and Captain or Diet Coke and vanilla vodka. If you like wine Pinot Grigio seems to be a lower cal white wine. You could do White Claw or Truly (the canned flavored low-cal spiked seltzer water) or if beer is your thing Corona Premier or Mich Ultra.

If staying home I'd buy fun flavored sparkling waters and vodka.. my current favorite is the Pure Ice brand pineapple-coconut sparkling water with vodka.

Whipped cream vodka, soda water and a lime is one of my faves!! Tastes like key lime pie! (boozy key lime pie)

Happy Birthday.

Remember that you can't really sabotage yourself in a day. Even if the scale goes up it will likely be temporary water retention which happens to me often if I have some alcohol.
