I don't drink that often, but on the weekend I may have a few. What are some better options that are lower calories?? I usually drink Michelob ultra, but they add up for sure. Cheers!

    Wow, I see what you mean, drinks are pretty calorific. Seems that if you're going to get smashed then calorie wise, better to do it on hard liquor lol

    I usually drink wine. Not really low in calories, but it's delicious!

    Bud 55 has only 55 calories.
    If you are wanting to get buzzed or drunk, goodluck though!
    If I drink that is what I go for because it doesnt get you drunk and not many calories.

    Yeah. I'd rather have nothing than Michelob Ultra or other "light" beers. I'll take a Russian Imperial Stout, or a Belgian Trippel, or a Wee Heavy.

    Vodka. If I'm drinking in the house I pick to drink it with a different diet soda - makes it a bit more interesting than the regular vodka and diet coke. Diet limeade mm. But recently I can't get enough of Amaretto/Disaronno because it tastes SO GOOD but really don't want to look up the calories.

    So I'll just sit and drink in denial and pretend it has none. :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Haha, ya'll are funny. Yeah I am thinking maybe vodka and a diet soda, or fewer beers that are way stronger.

    I mostly drink water and black coffee. If I'm going to drink a beer, I have a beer. None of that beer-ish water for me.

    Probably around 500 calories - but at 8-10% ABV that's enough to get me going

    Tastes better than those colored-water light American lagers anyway
