    Grey Goose Vodka and soda water with a twist of lime is relatively low in calories.

    Wine, shots, or diet mixers are going to be your best alcohol/calorie ratio.

    The typical cran-sprite-vodka is good. Or Captain and diet coke.
    The website http://getdrunknotfat.com/ rates and gives caloric information.

    Personally, I make sure my workout covers the calories I will consume from the beer I plan to drink. And then I try to hold myself to the occasional splurge not a regular thing.

    Thank you everyone! I probably only drink once every two weeks so its not a huge issue, I just want to make the right decisions as I can tend to get a little crazy on Sailor Jerrys and coke mixers when I'm in the mood ;)

    I grabbed some Hansen's Diet Ginger Ale as an impulse buy at Trader Joe's. It was delicious, but I found myself thinking that it would be even better with some rum in it. I went to their website, and right there the description of the soda, it said to mix it with my favorite liquor. Therefore, Hansen's told me to go buy a bottle of rum. Diet Ginger Ale + Captain Morgan's is gonna be my drink of choice this weekend.

    I usually go for a white spirit and soda water and lime. great taste and hardly any calories. or I drink a low calorie wine mixed with soda water

    When has calories ever been important when drinking? This surely like considering which is the most healthy toppings on a large stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut....

    Drink beer. Ok. Drink strong beer if your aim is to get drunk, so to drink less pints

    Great taste? The Advertising Standards Agency should be able to charge you for that....
