What to order at bars?

Cudleigh

I'm a college senior. When my friends and I go out, it's usually to a bar. I like to drink, but I don't think my go to drink (Captain Coke) is exactly helping with weight loss.

Any healthier suggestions? I mostly stick to liquor instead of beer/wine (rum/tequila preferably, though I will drink vodka).

I go to bars for chicken wings n beer, but the healthy kind. :bigsmile:

Bloody Mary. That way can say you had your veggies too.

Substitute diet soda or fizzy water as your mix.

Straight liquor without mixer...so vodka martini straight up, gin martini, bourbon on the rocks, etc.

Try a flavored vodka with plain soda water.

My bar drink of choice is usually vodka soda with lime… about 200 calories (Unless you can find a bar with diet soda).
But then I read an article that said champagne was the lowest calorie drink at about 90 calories per glass. So depending on the situation, I get champagne when I can. It takes me a LONG time to drink one glass, so it goes a little further into the evening!

Vodka water and put milo in it or bud select 55 or Michelob ultra

Rum and tonic with a twist of lime, the classic "boat drink" that Mr. Buffet sings of....

Get a good, flavorful dark rum, like Meyers, and sip, don't guzzle.

Or just use diet coke instead of regular in your Captain Coke; a slice of lime will hide that "diet" taste...

Same here!

I order vodka seltzers with two lemon wedges most of the time, but if I'm drinking with a meal I get champagne.

I find the problem is not in the booze cals, but the WILD UNSTOPPABLE URGE to snack once I'm a little drunk.

So now it's once a week drinking for me. Keeping the damage to a minimum.

Drink water and be the designated driver.


[ETA: To be fair, my favorite alcoholic beverage is rum and diet coke - even if I wasn't on a calorie deficit.]
