    vodka, fresh lime and soda is the go... or white wines and champagnes...

    i don't drink much, so when i drink, i just drink what i want which is usually gin and tonic, or vodka and tonic, i hate diet lemonades adn tonics and stuff. i don't drink every week, so i don't think it's a big issue.

    8 Bud lights are about the equivilant of a Wendy's 1/4 lb with small french fry or 880 calories about 56g of carbs so for reference sake a cup of white steamed rice has 45g of carbs. 8 shots of Jameson Irish Whisky on the rocks has roughly 560 calories with 0 carbs. Carbs make a huge difference when you are drinking in relation to weight loss. Just count it towards your weekly goal and remain under the calorie goal for day/week. I lost over 2lbs a week consistently drinking 8 beers on a Friday night drinking endeavor. Now i much more prefer Irish Whisky to beer haha

    Drinks with bubbles make you more drunk.

    Vodka/soda with lime and lemon.
    Presbeterian any alcohol with soda and gingerale mixed.
    Cosmopolitan-hold the triple sec. Vodka/splash cranberry/fresh lime juice. order it this way.
    Vodka soda splash of cranberry and lime

    The more colorful an alcohol the more adjuncts or impurities it has. The more impurities the greater the hangover. Hi-end alchohol such as Grey Goose or Patron Blanco/silver are filtered 5X.

    Ex: Bourbon is a white alcohol when first produced. It is stored in chard oak barrels for several years. It is the warming and cooling of the barrel that absorbs and expells the alcohol. Everybody has seen the rings in trees when cut down. The bourbon takes on its color from this.

    Hangovers are caused from the adjuncts or impurities from alcohol. These impurites collect in the brain and the pain is the result of your body trying to get rid of it.


    Stay away from andy diet sodas. These chemicals with your condition are not healthy for you. Your body has to get rid of the chemicals that you ingest. If your body is busy fighting or clensing itself it will store the toxins with fat.

    I found out last night that light rum goes well with raspberry Crystal Light. I would say any clear liquor would go well with it, just be careful of how much you drink. I ended up drinking 800 calories worth of rum and didn't realize it.

    Red wiine
  • When I know I'm going for it, I just try to eat a little less that day. Cause the drink calories will add up no matter what. But I'm a red wine fan myself. But I mix it up. Try to avoid sugar mixers with lots of juice. Plus they don't feel good later anyway.
  • my go to is vodka, soda, splash of cran with a lime.... or a glass of red wine. Delish!
