    I drink diet coke and vodka, mainly. They also sell "skinny girl" cocktails at most liquor stores (at least in NJ), that are around 35 cals for a small glass. If you drink beer, there are tons of low calorie options for beer like MGD64.

    At home its easier, esp those skinny girl drinks. But at a bar, sometimes I wonder what to get. I got pinot grigio tonight.

    1/2 a bottle of red wine is only 250 calories. That's all I need! :)

    I saw fergie on a talk show last night. She has a line of flavored vodkas out there that are low calories. She said they are lower in Proof but you can drink them" on the rocks". Without the shock of a full proof shot of vodka. However, I cant think of the name of it for nothing ???? Just google Fergie and Vodka sure you will find it!!!she was also making some drinks ( martinis)with diet sprite and low calorie cranberry juices and other low cal juices. I was really loving it!!! However I love skinnygirl vodka, amaretto and diet coke or Coke zero. Tastes like Cherry coke!!! Lower calorie then my original concoction!!!!:happy:

    Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and Diet A&W Rootbeer. Tastes like a rootbeer float! One 1.5 ounce shot is 100 calories, zero calories for the rootbeer and you don't need that many drinks if you know what I mean.

    One beer or glass of wine is not too bad. Stay away from any foofy mixed drinks and you'll be fine.

    Anything "girly" and with lots of fixtures (umbrella's, fruit on toothpicks, etc) has tons of sugar.

    Other wise, it's pretty simple: the more alcohol content, the more calories.

    There is no one kind of drink (vodka, beer, wine) that has less calories than the other because THERE ARE MANY MANY KINDS of each type. *facepalm*

    Smirnoff vanilla vodka has only 92 calories per shot added to diet orange soda and it tastes like those 2 tone bars. :o)

    I tend to go for vodka and diet something (coke, red bull) or gin and diet tonic water. To be honest though either way if your talking night out with a few drinks there is no true low calorie way to do that. i've spent a long time in the gym today and still not quite earned back tonights drinking :ohwell:

    Vodka water! With lemon! When I make it at home, I pretty much make vodka lemonade with no sugar. I like tart :)

    Put orange juice, ice, and vodka in a blender. It blends up like a smoothie, tastes great, and if you throw a toothpick umbrella in the glass, it looks like one of those high calorie frozen drinks.
