in Health and Weight Loss
Just a question- obviously I am trying to lose weight, and next weekend we are having friends over for some games and drinks. I will only have a few, but I am wondering what my best option is for low cal. drinks, or whatever is better for me during weight loss. I normally wouldn't drink, but because we are newlyweds and everyone asks when and if I will be pregnant, I want to shut them up by having a drink or two. Lol. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Red wine isn't too bad and it has some antioxidents in it. Just don't have too much like I did last night becuase my stomach isn't feeling good!

    I don't drink much alcohol... maybe only 2-4 times per year. But what about that MGD 64 I keep seeing commercials for? "I'll have 64 calories of..." and they give the person like, a shot glass size of drink, while the other person gets a whole bottle of miller draft 64. Just a thought. It may taste terrible or not... I hate all beer, so it would probably taste just as terrible to me. LOL :laugh:

    wine is your best bet. Just take it in moderation and you shouldn't mess yourself up too badly.

    I only drink 3 - 4 times a year.

    Red wine is a great choice...shiraz is my fav. Two 3.5 oz are enough and are under 200 calories total.

    You know you will come out better to google a few alcoholic beverages and campare. Because there are a lot of different wines out there and they all have different nitritional values.

    vodka. just watch what you mix it with. The calories from fruit juice can add up. I like the light cranberry juice and a twist of lime.

    lol, do what I do- screw it, have a daquiri!

    I only drink maybe 2 or 3 times a year. When I do drink it's ONE drink. And I make a deal with myself that it can be whatever I want. Why would I waste it on red wine or yucky low cal beer ? nope, no sir, pass me something sugary and yummy please!

    I went out for my boyfriends 22nd birthday last night and I got vodka and diet coke. So then I only had the vodka calories. However I paired this drink with a large pasta. :noway: so stupid but oh well we had a good time.

    Vodka and Gin are good if you want to drink liquor. I personally prefer Tanqueray Rangpur on the rocks.

    If you'd rather, then some red wine has some benefits.

    Personally if I'm gonna drink beer I head towards the light beers. I do not like the 64 calorie beer. IMO Miller Lite is the best of the light beers. Then again, that's like being the tallest midget.

    I drink regularly, so I guess I'm an expert. LOL.

    Tallest midget!
    :laugh:
    Now that's funny!
    Check out some of the V8 light juices for mixing with vodka or rum or whatever.
    Or even Crystal Light.
    is that sacrilege?
    :grumble:

    Thanks again.....since I don't like beer, that is not an option. I LOVE the idea of a Daquiri......haha. Icould do wine, or the vodka with either crystal light or diet coke or light cranberry juice and lime. Thanks guys!

    diet coke and rum: about 60 cals per ounce of rum. I like malibu rum: coconut flavoring. it is about 90 cals per ounce of rum.

    tastes much better with coke zero than diet, but that's just my preference-

    Not Mikes Hard Lemonade. 220 calories a bottle-dang. I stick to wine or rum and diet coke. I also make sure I workout more and save up a few extra calories for the night.
