    This is so great. I am actually meeting with an old friend tonight. I was planning on having my martini (dirty)

    I'm a drinker!!! Can't help it...lol. On the weekends, I'm still young and I still love to party! Vodka/Sodas are the best...I believe vodka has about 60 calories per 1 oz, a shot is a 1 1/2 ozs. I take little Splenda packets in my clutch purse and shoot in some lime!! lol Hope this helps :-)

    Wait wait.. you add splenda to what!? This sounds good.

    I will probably have a glass or two of wine with a really nice dinner (not completely over the top, but enjoyable). I like to plan my Free nights in advance, so I can exercise during the week to boost up and watch closely what I am eating on the other days. I don't want my free night to wreak havoc on my weigh-ins, I don't mind not losing anything that week, but I don't want to gain. I find that if I do this every couple of weeks, I don't feel deprived and I end up making better choices when I do go out. I will also leave a little room for some decadent desert this night...but i recently found that I don't really enjoy these as much as I used too, so it will probably be just a few bites and I'll be satsified, but I wont say No!

    Some wines have a horrid amount of calories especially sweet or semi-sweet wines. :brokenheart: I stick with the dry wines, vodka, or Select Beer. Absolut Vanilla Vodka mixed with Diet Pepsi is yummy...one of my favorites actually. :drinker:
    I don't drink much beer at all except in the hot summer months. Occasionally I still have to have a Lemon Cello...it is delicious :bigsmile: but very high in calories (75 in one ounce!) Still, as someone said, you have to live once in a while!:devil:
    Stay away from sweet, fruity mixed drinks and as someone said above...the insane smoothie type drinks. :sad:

    Enjoy!
    :drinker:

    Michelob Ultra has 95 calories. I love beer lol http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/michelob/ultra-light-beer

    Ok, but does that count as beer? :laugh:

    I agree with the guy above that said if you're gonna drink, you might as well drink what you like.

    lol @ shannon's comment.

    i like malibu & diet coke's. they're about 60 cals a glass & it takes me longer to drink them than beers & less to get me tipsy, so i'm still having a good time with everyone else. the only prob is that it's harder to play drinking games with liquor. no beer pong, flip cup, or kings!

    there is select 55 beer, but it takes 2 of those to equal the alcohol content of 1 light beer...

    Congrats on planning! Its a great way to stave off a night of mindless-caloric-drinking.

    Stick with CLEAR liquors....vodka (flavored or not) and etc.

    I prefer vodka & diet. Its a bit harsh and I always get a strange look from bartenders but it's not only low-calorie (64-100...depending on how much the bartender serves up) but I PACE myself much better on this, especially when I've been saving up my calories or haven't had much carbs that day. For some reason...drinking vodka & diet, makes me NOT want to snack on the sweet, salty & fatty...unlike beer. With beer...I want to EAT!

    A great choice is sugar-free redbull and vodka.
    A glass of wine (I stick with red at dinner)
    If you're a beer drinker go for MGD 64 (64 calories) or Bud Select 55 (55 calories a bottle...lowest out there that I know of!)
