Hey friends.
I'm headed to a party next weekend and wondered what you all drink without moving the scale much??
I have been drinking Smirnoff Ice Light (80 calories each) but I need like, 8 of them to last me through the night! (They're low %, lol )
Any thoughts??
Thanks!

    I drink spirits neat, stops me from downing them as harder to drink. Lower cal too.

    Of course cutting down / stopping is the ideal position.

    Maybe swap between alcohol drink and water / diet cola, that way you'd cut the damage in half. Appreciate you wouldn't get so drunk, but you may realise you don't need to.

    Have fun either way.

    I have a 3 drink maximum, otherwise judgement goes out the window. My first drink is usually something I really want, like a high calorie beer. After that, I switch to light beer or wine.

    Drink on the rocks; try infused vodkas for flavour without the calories :)
    Dilute you drink; sparkling water or club soda can be added to spirits, or even wine to make a lower calorie spritzer.
    Gin, rum, vodka, whisky , tequila, brandy and cognac all come in at around 65 calories single measure .

    Depends on what kind of booze you prefer! I will ask for tequila with agave and fresh lime juice if I want a margarita, otherwise I do red wine or vodka with diet soda... and eat enough food, but leave some calories for the drink intake! :)

    Don't freak out if you notice a bump upwards on the scale the next day or so after. Alcohol will make you retain water (it does for me, anyway).

    Make sure you drink plenty of water before and after, stick with your routine, and you will be fine.

    Drink Vodka with Diet Tonic water - two limes! :) Every bar I have ever been to has diet tonic water. If not, get regular tonic. The calories are SO minimal, you won't even notice!! Plus you will get some natural sweetness - yes, sweetness - from the lime. It enhances the drink. I also would offset every drink with a glass of water. You will still get drunk, trust me. The vodka packs a punch with the tonic water!! ENJOY!!!!
