in Food and Nutrition
Being in college, partying is an obvious factor. And the biggest contributor to my expanded waistline. I will admit, I enjoy drinking with my friends. Besides cutting down the number of drinks (which I have started doing).. what are some ways I can still go out without breaching the diet rules?

PS I know it's really bad for you but I don't do it on a daily basis.

    if it's mixed drinks, try them with diet pop. if it's beer, there are a few low cal/carb varieties. miller 67 or something?? I was out last night and had vodka and sprite zero. 56 calories each drink, not too bad.

    mixed drinks with lower sugar and water the best bet

    Wine, or my personal favorite (besides wine, lol) is vodka with seltzer. 1 shot of most vodkas is 60-80 calories and seltzer has nothing in it!

    If it's beer try Micholob Ultra. It's 95 calories a bottle! I like it. I am a huge Medelo especial fan but it's got like 290 calories per bottle so I had to switch.

    I drink Vodka/Water to keep it as low cal as possible and somewhat "hydrate" while drinking. Plus I seem to be less hungover when I drink vodka.

    Also, if you know you are going to be going out, exercise before and that way you'll have some extra calories to spare.

    I drink vodka and sprite zero, or vodka in water with a crystal light. And I dance a lot when I go out with my friends - so I'm burning calories that way, too!

    Vodka tonics for me, too. I typically have just one, then switch to water with lime. No one knows the difference.

    i drink whatever i want, and i usually make sure to work out that day, but something else too. i always eat a lot that day, sometimes to about maintenance calories. because i'm usually at a calorie deficet, my body doesn't have enough food to "absorb" the alcohol. i know thats not how it works, but i definetly don't pass out or get too drunk too quick when i do this. one day i had worked out, ate with the idea of eating to leave room for booze, and it back fired. got too drunk too quick. also, helps avoid those 3am pizza cravings!!!
