I drink socially but have cut down my intake dramatically along with my calories. I still like to have an alcoholic beverage with friends once in a while, I am wondering if there is advice on what are the lowest calorie/lowest carb drinks that tastes better than the other advice I've been given of a "vodka/water with lemon"... Suggestions welcome!

    if you're a REAL beer drinker, drink a real beer and dont chug it.
  • Dirty martini (it's just vodka and olive juice). Vodka tonic. Red wine. Low-low calorie beers.

    ^ There you go. I do malibu/diet since (for me) it's about 130 calories for my drink. I like the taste of alcohol so I make mine doubles, which is why the calorie count is high. 1 shot = 65 calories for rum.

    Thanks! I will try the malibu and diet for sure, I LOVE beer but haven't been as successful at drinking that as slowly as a mixed drink...
  • If you like vodka, the iced tea vodka with sugar free snapple tea is really good -- and tea is something that I can sip! Have fun!

    Clear liquors have the fewest calories. Avoid fruit juice/soda mixers. In other words: drink that vodka straight up
