    My favorite is this clear drink consisting of hydrogen hydroxide instead of ethanol. It's a lot better for you (0 calories!), but can still give you a nice buzz when you go for a run, bicycling, etc. :smile:

    The classic Bloody Mary is only 150 calories or you could do a Naz and get a Mojito at 160!! :) niiice

    I really like the mgd 64 beer or there is also bud 55. Either are good if you are looking for beer. Also instead of rum and coke use diet coke.

    The only problem with those two light beers is that the way they get the calories down is by having a lower alcohol content. So basically if you want it for the taste, it's perfect, but if you're want to get anything of a buzz, you end up having to drink twice as many as you normally would. Like a regular light beer is usually around 5% or 6% alcohol, whereas those two are about 2.5% alcohol.


    yea! I noticed that! When I drink Sam Adams, I get pretty buzzed, Bud Light Lime, will take a 6 pack! Its like water

    As a dude I doubt he would want to have anything to do with vodka and Crystal Light packets. LOL

    I would stick to the good stuff, Grey Goose and club soda with a lime. Very "manly" and only 70 calories a drink.

    Alchohol in and of itself isn't horrible for you. There are two huge issues, however. The first is mixers, which was mentioned. The second is BAR FOOD. I know for me, when I'm buzzed I'd eat an intire fried cow if it was sitting in front of me. Anything and everything is game, which is why I eat before I go to the bar, then stay below the buzzed line. I had 3 beers the other night, but because I ate before I went I never got buzzed, so I wasn't tempted to eat anything while I was there.

    Honestly the best thing is vodka water. A friend turned me onto it. I know it sounds stupid, but if you get a good quality vodka and toss a lime in there, its quite tasty. Vodka has the least amount of calories of all the liqour (albeit by a small margin). Plus the water you get in ever drink keeps you hydrated.

    I used to drink rum and diets all the time and I still do from time to time. If you're going to have a drink or two, that's fine. But for me personally if I'm going out to have a good time and am going to have more than a couple, I'd rather avoid all that artificial crap and stick to vodka water.

    Try it out and see if you like it!

    My favorite are Mojito and Cosmo both are pretty low cal. I'm not a big fan of artifical sweetners ( i dont like the diet taste) but some might use the crystal light for the cranberry in the Cosmo.

    I may well try the vodka water & lime. Sounds refreshing unlike vodka and diet coke which I had 3 of today and tasted nasty. Flat, watery syrupy and with the taste of cheapo Smirnoff vodka. Best find me a pub tomorrow in London that sells GOOD vodka.

    for drinks listed by their alcohol content to calorie ratio, check out getdrunknotfat.com

    i find that liquor of choice + seltzer water or diet tonic is the best
