Hey, I know alcohol is pretty much a dieting no-no, but my husband & I are going out tonight with old friends and I know drinking will be involved. What can I drink that will be low calorie other than light beer?

Are you gonna be dancing? That helps with the calories!
I like that article too!0 -
Wine or light beers are my drinks of choice when going out.0

I usually drink flavored bacardi with club soda, or rum with diet coke.
Sangria is also a decent option calorie-wise.0 -
nice article, thanks! i try to implement a general rule of taking it easy on mixers with tons of sugar, and beer is a rotten bloater, though i still like to enjoy a good one. anything super sweet is probably not good for you, since the alcohols will be turning into sugars already, from what i understand. plus, booze hurts hydration, which gets you pounded and slows down your goals (look through my diaries and you'll see i speak very much from experience!). so if you keep a rule of a water per drink, you can party longer & keep your bod happy (-;0

Alcohol are empty calories. There is no utilization of energy and they encourage fat storage. That being said, enjoy the evening out, be conservative with your drinking...drive safely and get back in gear tomorrow. It sounds like this is a treat and not a routine....ENJOY LIFE. But know its like eating cake...enjoy a little and work hard tomorrow.

Gin & Diet Tonic!
The bitterness of the tonic water might mean you'll drink more slowly. And the calorie to alcohol ratio is very good. Dry red wine also has a good calorie/alcohol ratio and is meant to be healthy in moderation thanks to resveratrol. Both spirits and red wine beat light beer because they've got less carbs.
Most importantly, enjoy the night, do a little dancing if at all possible and don't worry!0 -
I love my beer and vodka and OJ or Malibu and pinaple. I just make sure during the week I leave eaxtra so I can drink and if I go over I just work out extra the next week.
Ive heard skinny girl coctails are good but never tried them personally.0 -
ROFLMAO. Alcohol is a no-no? Then why do I continue to lose weight though I drink at least a bottle of wine a week (usually in one night), and a few straight-ups?0
