Low Calorie Alcoholic Drinks

bununu

Going out to the bar always kills me. I try to opt for 1-2 of the following in a night:

1. White wine, approximately 120 calories in a glass
2. White wine spritzer, cut white wine with club soda for a 60 calorie drink
3. Guinness! Surprisingly, the drink has 170 calories in a pint!

What do you guys do at the bar?

Sure a glass of white wine "only" has 120 cals, but thats for like a 4oz glass, where you could have a 12 oz beer for similar calories.

To be honest, as long as you arent mixing your booz with something else high cal then drink what you like, but know that the higher the alcohol content the "less" you get to drink for a similar amount of calories.

I usually drink a light beer or vodka and club soda.

Go to the store, pick your favorite MiO, and carry it in your purse. When you go to the bar, order a vodka and water and squirt some MiO in there. It's AMAZING!! The only calories will be from the vodka. I think Grey Goose has about 60 cals per shot.

My favorite thing right now is half a bottle of cherry vodka, an entire bottle of Diet Cranberry Pomegranate juice, and a couple of squirts of Berry Pomegranate MiO. It tastes like candy! Obviously I make this at home in a pitcher, but you can mix all kinds of things together. A shot of regular vodka and some strawberry watermelon MiO is awesome!

Favorite low-cal mixed drink: Gin and Diet Tonic

Favorite low-cal beer: Coors Light

Wine: I take the wine I have at the moment and put it on a little ice with Diet Sprite or Diet 7-Up.
We call these spritzers here and boy do I love them!! Add some fruit for something colorful and healthy!

Stopped my Guiness and stout obsession when I started on this site. However, I drink Coke Zero and vodka or any diet soda and vodka now.
