Lowest calorie drinks to order at the bar?

Options
Hey everyone, I turned 21 on Thursday and I have just started getting back into the weight loss swing of things. Although I still want to go out and enjoy being legal with my friends, I don't want to work hard and eat right just to destroy my good day with a few drinks once or twice a week.

So the real question here is, does anyone know any low cal drinks I can sip on when I go out?

I know the proper response is 'don't drink', but I like to go out and have fun every once and awhile too!

    Vodka and soda water with a twist of lime or whiskey and diet coke are my go-to, low cal drinks. :) Under 100 calories each.

    I also drink Corona Light pretty often when sipping beer (about 110 calories a bottle).

    Ohh thankyou! I know to stay away from sugary drinks like margaritas or daiquiris, which is a shame because they are so yummy. I like vodka, so I'll try it with soda water!

    Try flavored Stolis on the rocks or with soda water.

    I also like sipping on a glass or two of wine when I'm craving something sweeter.

    Above all, stay away from sour mix.

    Most whiskey is around 69 calories. Mixed with diet soda, water, or soda water will keep the calories down to that.

    The lowest calorie beers I'm aware of are Bud 55, which is 55 calories per bottle, and MGD 64, which is 64 calories per bottle. Drawbacks are lower alcohol content, carbs, and you lose flavor (I joke that they are kind of like drinking water. But, they really aren't a bad option when you want a drink but dont want to burn too many calories on it.) Most light beers are 100-120 calories. Better beers can be 150+ calories.

    I don't know if you can order this at a bar, but my go-to drink for parties is vodka (or rum) with Crystal Light. You seriously can't taste the alcohol AT ALL (so be careful). It's delicious and low calorie.

    I drink pink lemonade and vodka at the beach, and I usually go for hard cider at the bar (not very low cal though)

    I do this too! Or with flavored water like propel. If I need a little something better, I mix with diet 7 up (but that's at home since most bars don't carry it)

    This! Although the Corona Lights I had yesterday were only 99 calories!

    The bottled Skinny Girl Margarita is awesome! It's agave tequila and super tasty. As for the bar I get rum and diet coke, or gin & soda. Red wine is great too if you're out for dinner.

    Whiskey on the rocks, whiskey and diet cola or diet ginger, gin and diet tonic. I think most hard alcohol has about 70 cals to the ounce - but be aware that a shot is generally an ounce and a half.

    Also, Michelob Ultra is not so bad - 96 calories for a 12 oz bottle.
