    Miller 64 - it may taste like piss, but it's low in calories and it stands no chance of getting you drunk.

    Vodka and seltzer with at least 2 slices of fresh lime. Very refreshing and you really only get the calories from the alcohol.

    I do vodka and pineapple juice. You get about 50 extra calories or so from the pineapple juice but it's yummy and I just drink 1...so I really don't care, haha.

    Yup soda water or even just plain water. I am not sure why but it is really good and does not taste at all like you might expect.

    Bud Select (bud it tastes like aluminum flavored water), Gin and Tonic (but it tastes like pine needles), Scotch and water (but it's really strong for some people)... that's all I know of.

    You must just make the choice. Is it worth it? And if so the treat yourself, and jsut do not over due it. If you know the Cals in each drink, it is not hard to only have one.

    Vodka is probably one of the best for low cal...and no hangover for me. Vodka Tonic with a splash of cranberry and lime is good :)

    Most liquors seem to have roughly 70 calories per 1 oz - so i try to do anything diet or calorie free to add to it. I am interested to see some other suggestions as well tho!

    Mmm. Piss beer. I hate MGD, that tastes pretty much just as good I am sure. Ugh.

    I have done flavored Rum and water with ice. Great summer drinks. Or light beers, Michalob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry is my fav at 95 cal for 12oz.

    I usually go for vodka and diet coke.. single drink is 56 calories apparently. I usually go for doubles, though.. less coke, more vodka :P

    Don't be silly. MGD has immense amounts of tasty beer flavor compared to 64 AND twice the alcohol content :)

    Just a warning, Tonic Water is not calorie free!

    But Club Soda is.

    Cider isn't too bad, better than beer anyway, not sure if you are UK or not, but Stella Cidre is only around 150 calories a pint, other than that I'd go for gin & slimline tonic.

    I was a huge fan of my gin and tonics! But - - the tonic has a bunch of sugar and calories, so I went to gin and soda water instead - and let me tell you it tastes EVEN BETTER. Totally refreshing, especially with a few slices of lime! :)

    I think all your clear liquors (vodka, gin, run) have about the same amount of calories - 100 per 1.5 ounces (standard shot) and you can mix them with zero calorie things like diet sodas or seltzer water. Skip the juices and sour mix if you want to avoid calories.

    This doesn't always work in a bar but at home, I like making what is called shandy - kind of like a wine spritzer but with beer. My personal favorite is MIchelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry and Diet Sierra Mist mixed about 2/3rds beer to 1/3rd soda. You get a HUGE drink for only 90 calories!

    Amstel Light, Michelob Ultra. Vodka and sugar free red bull. Vodka and diet soda.

    I would indulge in one REALLY strong drink and just babysit it for the night. If it's made well enough, you should still be pretty gone. I recommend my concoction. Assuming they have a full bar, ask them to mix Bacardi 151, Hpnotiq, Hennessy, Grey Goose, and pineapple juice in a tall glass on the rocks. Garnish with a cherry or pineapple wedge. It's called Gangsta's Paradise. It will creep up on you, so babysitting it is recommended. Any more than 3 in an hour, you will have the greatest night of your life that you won't remember.

    it's still odd to me that you're even drinking beer since you were born a slave to vodka.

    But yes, i'll be drinking a case of 64, so I can feel a slight buzz...

    You're adorable... but we share the opposite theory in regards to booze *LOL*

    It is heartbreaking. I completely agree. It is not really beer. But I'll still drink a case tonight....
