beer...liquor...wine?

Which of the 3 do you prefer? What is best calorie wise? i love my beer but when I logged the calories the other day I never realized how quickly they add up. I do drink light beer but when you have 10 to 15 those calories add up! Lol just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this...

Daily I like my Coronas

Every once in a while I enjoy a glass of Remy Martin.

I enjoy a refreshing White Zinfandel spritzer with soda-water, fresh lime and lemon...
I do though enjoy a good crispy cold Stella Artois - but that I have to preplan ahead because of the calories... the carbs are actually not that bad!

I do love a good Bud Light with my burgers and steak tips..

And..... my ALL TIME EVIL ADDICTION: I want my top shelf PATRON margarita to go with my chile rellenos and soft shell tacos... I cant have a margarita without the patron - I will purposely budget ahead to enjoy that luscious drink of love!

My weakness is red wine but the calories are high there too. Vodka martinis are better when watching the caloric intake.

Gin & tonic is fairly low in cals

Oh you hit on my weakness...Im pretty good at drinking beer. I did switch to much higher quality beer and far less I think you need to give yourself a little reward for an hour of dripping sweat while the little 90 pound 20yr old girl running the boot camp barks at you... maybe thats just my own hell, i dunno... but a hot shower and a pull off a keg of a fine Oregon microbrew in a frosty mugs makes it all worth it

Yellowtail red wine, but my self control with the stuff is AWFUL.

ALL OF IT

Life's too short to worry about calories in booze. if you're gonna drink booze, just enjoy it. ... I personally like all of it...what I drink depends on the circumstance. If it's during the day, beer, usually at night liquor if I'm at the bar or something...but lately I drink just one beer at the bar because I can't afford to drink more. lol And wine...well lol I don't drink it often but I do like drinking it.

Try Vodka with soda water and a slice of lime it's great! and very low in cals.

Liquor. Shots man all the way. New favorite drink is a 3 wise men, how I make it is:

1 part Jagermeister (fav)
1 part Jack Daniels
1 part 100 proof Southern Comfort


Tasty. It also is not super high in calories (save for the Jager), because its just the alcohol, not to much extra for flavor

Shots ...or vodka and sugar free lemonade...both drinks are 69 calories ..so can sneak a few in lol :P

White wine I save cals for it. I also like Smirnoff Ice coolers in the summer. I think the light ones are about 90 cals. I admit I usually buy the regular ones though.

blinker712

thanks for all the tips n ideas! i guess i will just try to save a few extra cals when i know im going to be drinking! what about jello shots thats like a snack and gets you whacked ha

1 6oz wine/ 1 beer/ 1 shot has the same amount of alcohol. Depending on your state.

I don't indulge often, but when I do, I don't give a hoot about the calorie content. I am not drinking to fill up cals on my diary, after all. That said, I love rum, and it doesn't matter what it's mixed with, cause I've never tasted a rum drink I didn't like. I also like wine, both white and red. I have this awesome stuff from Huber's Orchard & Winery (an awesome farm near my old house in Indiana) that's a seasonal wine they have this time of year called Spiced Apple Wine. I love that stuff! It's like an alcoholic apple cider. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I will partake in it when there's nothing else and everyone else is having something.

It's a good thing I don't drink often, though. I don't tend to stop until I'm off the chain drunk...

I'm with ya....of all the things that I need to give up or limit from my diet, I just don't want to quit beer. It did take me a long time to say that I don't WANT to quit it, I used to say I just can't give it up....but I now recognize it for what it is, my weakness. I just put in a little extra time on the elliptical or a few extra laps in the pool so I don't feel so guilty about having those beers. Reward yourself. Enjoy.

I drink every night so caring about the calories is really a lost cause but I try my best to save room in my limit for it

This might seem weird but I find that drinking beer is the easier in terms of weight loss. YES! It is higher in calories than vodka lime and soda or other spirit+low cal mixer options that are out there... but I find if I drink the spirit+low cal mixer, I drink more (faster) because it they are easy to drink and I also end up seeming to eat more.

If I just drink 1-2 beers I can sit and drink it for an hour and enjoy it, and I tend to drink far less. That's just me though! If you are going pure cals though, 60 calories approx for vodka + soda + slice of lime is probably one of the best (and nicest)

beer all the way. few cocktails once i a while. :drinker:

PBJunky

Shooters + brandy, not a big fan of beer but I do occasionally drink one
