Alcohol

DrMan

I'm going out tonight and I really want some alcohol. What is the best low cal drink. I really like vodka and gin. Maybe tonic something? Rum and diet coke maybe???

Vodka and Diet 7up

CivicSista

Gin or vodka with diet tonic.

JE55Y

Or...

White wine and Soda water! My dad lost 4 stone drinking that instead of beer

iheartralphie

don't drink tonic, its full of sugar... vodka and soda (soda water not soda pop) is good... even better with flavored vodka Or a bloody mary-low cal plus vitamins...lol

Charli666

wine and soda water

or vodka lime and soda water

bachooka

a bblueberry bliss... or what ever fruit flavour you like. It is tonic water with flavoured vodka in it, and it is very low calorie!

Yes, definitely vodka soda as suggested above- add plenty of lemons and limes mmmm yum! :drinker:

i think bacardi and diet coke is the lowest calorie drink at around 63 calories a glass

but personally i would stick to some red wine (if you want you can mix it with cascade ice or gingerale)

Surprisingly enough Guinness is actually lighter then a lot of light beers and it is heavy and fills you up. about 170 cals per 12 oz and pack full of minerals.

oh yeah and if you want beer theres that miller 64(which i woudlnt reccomend because gross miller)

but theres also the new bud 55 which is pretty tolerable but i remember knocking back five of them at a party once and not even feeling kind of tipsy. im a small girl so im wondering how much alcohol is actually in it xD

Alcohol is often referred to as a source of 'empty calories', meaning it has no nutritional value other than providing energy. The energy provided by an alcoholic drink depends on the percentage of alcohol it contains, but also on the type of drink it is. For example, a creamy liqueur will have more calories than a clear liqueur. As a rough guide:

a pint of continental lager is about 215 calories
a measure of spirit contains around 55 calories, but this doesn't include calories from the mixer - try to choose low-calorie options
a standard glass of dry white wine or red wine is about 115 calories, and sweet wine is about 165 calories
a creamy liqueur contains around 163 calories per 50ml serving, while the same amount of sherry or port contains around 60 calories a glass

Flavored vodka or rum with either diet cola or club soda. I checked earlier for someone and Smirnoff's flavored vodkas have 69 calories per 1 oz (or 105 calories per 1.5 oz shot) and zero carbs.

the dry red wine i drink is 95 a glass but its very bitter and tart and i wouldn't suggest it for someone who doesn't enjoy wine

DrMan

I like that idea
