Alcohol Ideas

Grimmerick

So I usually drink wine when I go out but I am in the mood for something different tonight and a little more low calorie. Any ideas? my wine is usually 114 cals a glass, anybody have good lower calorie but just as effective at getting a good buzz suggestions.

You could always do shots of straight up liquor. ;D Most have between 80 to 100 calories a shot and will do the job A LOT quicker than any of the light beers would. Even a mix drink with diet soda has more calories than doing straight shots.

This of course is if you actually want to catch a good buzz.

Not as much alcohol... but what has helped me keep the weight off is drinking water in between each alcholic drink and als making sangria with white or red wine and some fruit and diet sprite.

vodka and diet coke is pretty low.

Smirnoff Light Ice (Canada) has 100 calories. It is not as sweet as the regular smirnoff ice(228 calories)

Try Bud Select 55, MGD 64, or Michelob Ultra (95 calories).. If you like beer, that is.

Vodka, tonic, splash of cranberry and a lime wedge. Around 75 calories I think!

UV blue (1oz shot-69 calories)- mixed with Crystal Light Lemonade is really tasty.

Vodka and Sprite Zero FTW!! But you may not find Sprite Zero out and about in the bars.

Rum and Diet coke. should be about 65-80 calories. It's my drink of choice

No much help but after I had a few I could not care less how many calaries are in the drinks as long as they keep flowing, It's good to let your hair down once in a while and just forget about it all and get W**kered.

I'm with you.

I rarely drink anymore but when I do..I love sangria. I mix red wine with diet lemonade and squeeze fresh lemon and lime juice into it, then cut up whatever fruit I have (normally apples, oranges, plums, pineapple, grapes, lemon, lime) it's really refreshing, gets you quite drunk and it's nice to munch all the booze soaked fruit afterwards!

If you're not into that, vodka and a diet mixer is probably your best bet. Have fun! :drinker:

Where can I find the skinny girl margarita, 37 calories, premade mix????

Sugar Free Redbull and Vodka (orange, tastes like tic-tacs) - 15 calories but becareful because it will sneak up on you after 2 or 3 drinks. When you are buring fat your body soaks up alcohol REALLY fast.

Sweet tea vodka with water over ice.

Vodka, blackcurrant & soda water... i used to have it with lemonade, but its too many cals

ag23c

I started drinking vodka and soda water with fresh lemon and lime wedges. Yummy and refreshing!

amyers35

if at home VnC cocktails from liquor store! Premade like $13 a liter. Its new so it may not be out in some places yet. google it. SO yummy. all natural too. its natural fruit juice with vodka -make sure to shake it up before you drink bc theirs fruit pulp at the bottom. less calories than a glass of wine. my favorite flavor is pacific breeze!

When I was in college, while I was on WW, at home I would drink gin and crystal light. It was my own "healthy" tom collins. haha!

I like vodka with water and lemon & lime juice. It just tastes like lemon water and all you have to count is the calories from the vodka

This is not really accurate -- the vodka alone would be about 75-100 calories (depending on how generous your shot is), and the tonic water would be another 75 or so. Unless you meant soda water.

One of my favourite drinks is a variation on a mojito -- I use white rum, fresh mint, lime juice, and diet tonic water. You only need to count the calories for the rum. (About 100).

I also like to mix Crystal Light with sparkling water and add a flavoured vodka to that. Yum! So refreshing in the summer.

I used to be a huge vodka/tonic drinker but, there are calories in vodka AND tonic. So I switched it up. Vodka/soda. Doesn't take wonderful but, it sure gets the job done.

ALTHOUGH, this did not help me this weekend. Maybe because I drank my entire long weekend.

Enjoy!

Vodka, soda water and lime cordial is yummy or you could make white wine spritzers which is white wine and soda water same amount of calories but you get 2 glasses instead of one. Tia maria and diet coke or coke zero
