Crap! Beer has a ton of carbs right? I was thinking I would still be able to do really well with my low carb diet even tho we are going to a party. I can do a bun less burger, lots of veggies and skip the potato chips. but what about the alcohol? There will def be consumption of beer, wine, or a cocktail (or 5). What should I drink to have the lowest carb content per glass?

Eat drink and have fun. Then carry on as normal the following day.0

Wine spritzer cuts the calories. Also vodka, gin, tequila are usually lower in calories. And be accountability, try not to over fill your glass. I now actually measure out a 5 ounce glass of wine when I drink it. To easy to eyeball it and probably adding another 100 calories.0

Did you know that drinking any small amount of alcohol can shut down your fat burning for days? It is simple, if you want to party, do it, accept the consequences, the whole idea of "moderation" does not work.0

Diabetic here...I don't do carbs...straight rum, vodka, tequila. :drinker:
ETA:
Miller lite has 3 g carb per 12 oz bottle
Michelob Ultra may be a wee bit lower0 -

Also, skip the mixers & go with crystal light lemon for 'sweet & sour', add stevia or sucralose as needed.
You can also go with diet ginger ale.0 -

Gin and Slimline Tonic has Zero carbs...:)0

I drink club soda with a lime wedge. It's refreshing and nobody knows you aren't drinking. Or you can choke down some skinny girl wine with club soda (a nasty version of a spritzer) or some Miller 64 if you like drinking pee-pee water.
Just drink one of what you really enjoy and drink club soda the rest of the time. Life's too short to drink swill over and over just to try to save some carbs.0 -
I'll skip bread on my burger, cut out the fries, and I rarely eat chips, but i'll be damned if I drink crap beer. My favorites are around 250 calories per 12 ounces and I deal with it by working out a bit harder. No biggie. Life is too short.0

I am sorry but can not agree with this post. I still have a beer a few days a week and have consistantly been losing 2 lbs a week. If I drink 4 beers and then do not eat for a day.....where do I get my energy from to live when my 400 calories are consumed by my body (In less than 4 hours?)........from my reserves (fat burning). Please do not stretch what I said though, I would not go a day without eating, but I try my best to keep all my calories within my goal (1820 Cal a day) even when I drink beer.
Moderation is what MFP is all about. You can eat anything you want in moderation (As long as it fits in your calorie goals). So again I disagree with your statement of "moderation does not work".0 -
Jose cuervo has a zero cal margarita mix, you only need to worry about tequila cal:)0

Light beers are great when caloires are of a concern. I drink Corona Light (99 Calories per beer) mostly, but even Canadian 67 (67 Calories per beer) sometimes as well. Its a good alternative. Its not most peoples taste, but i also drink wiskey or rum with ice and water (64 Calories per shot)0

Just watch the video that I posted and research, you are not giving any info, just attacking the person.0 -

Bourbon, vodka, tequila, pretty much any distilled sprits. Zero carbs. Skip the sweet liquor like fireball or honey jack and flavored rums, etc, and watch what you mix with. Personally I prefer bourbon on the rocks or straight up, and sip it.
As far as beer goes, I drink good stuff that is usually pretty high in carbs and calories, but I try to factor it into my carb count for the day. I've been doing lower carbs for almost a year so I know now that if I go over 100-150 once in a while it's not going to hurt. It has probably slowed my weight loss down some but I'm not going to worry about it, you gotta enjoy life!0 -

That wasn't an attack on the person. It was an attack on the statement. Know the difference.

Please distinguish between attacking YOU versus attacking YOUR STATEMENTS. I said that your CLAIMS are incorrect & absurd; I did not call YOU incorrect/absurd. The YouTube video that you posted does not prove anything to me; it contains incorrect information. Just because one bogus YouTube video (do you genuinely think that everything posted on YouTube is factually correct? That would be impossible) says something does not make it so. "Any small amount of alcohol" does NOT "shut down your fat burning for days" and YES, the whole idea of moderation DOES work. The claims that you made are incorrect; it's just that simple. You're telling ME to "research" when clearly your research is faulty (to be clear - I have stated that YOUR RESEARCH is faulty; I have not stated that YOU are faulty. See the difference?).
I'm not attacking YOU as a person (I'm sure you're a lovely human being); I'm simply saying that your information is wrong. Nor am I the only one saying that your information is wrong - "hilarious" and "*points and laughs*" and "you are seriously going to back this statement up with a YouTube video?" are other comments made in response to your claims.0 -
Since you are not giving any argument of why am I wrong, you just say it, you are not giving anything to the content of the post but bs, it is an empty post to try to go against someone.
If you base your argument, now, in the fact that it is a "Youtube video" you are clearly proving what I say, the video is made by a doctor, a real doctor, who treats overweighted people and is giving you INFORMATION, are you going to discredit a video that explains that you need water to survive because it is a "Youtube video", please, this is worst than the school.
Look at the content, not at where it is posted, and you have know idea of what I have read after that video to know more about the subject.0 -
Skinny B!tches! Vodka, water, splash of lime juice. or those rum coolers that are 4 calories? Apparently there's vodka coolers that are super low too but I can't remember the name. Nothing Google can't find

Alcohol consumption will interfere with the fat burning process due to it being required to be metabolized immediately. But it will not harm it for days on end. Your body will still be using the calories consumed and stored fat when it needs.
Simply posting a YouTube video is not sufficient evidence. Peer reviewed scientific research articles, preferably published, are the standard for trying to prove something. Even if the poster of said video has 50 different type of medical degrees.
As for the OP, a good choice would be presses. Flavored vodka with soda water/tonic water.Pineapple press is my favorite.0
