    Yum!

    Ok you know whats a total hoax? That MGD 64. What they dont tell you is that its only 2.8% alcohol. :laugh: Yeah. So you have to drink 2x as much to get the same effect. I'm sticking w/ vodka and diet! :drinker:

    I have been enjoying Fresca with tequila. It kind of tastes like a margarita but is under 70 calories.

    I like this suggestion! I will have to try this! I love tequila!!

    My favorite is Caffeine Free diet pepsi and a couple of shots of Whisky,mmmmm
    only 70cals for one shot . And it gets the job done:wink:

    I thought mikes hard lemonades were more like 200 cals... And my all time fave is vodka and diet tonic with a lime twist. If u r going out however they generally don't have diet tonic but any alcohol with diet coke is low too.

    Me too- I'm quite sure it's closer to 200 than the list suggests... unfortunately! :grumble:

    What a timely topic! I'm new to the whole counting calories thing, and I've been thinking I should check out what I've been drinking this summer. Good grief, I had no idea how many calories were in alcohol! Thank goodness I hadn't filled that craving for a Long Island Iced Tea!

    Thanks so much for starting this thread!

    Hi, I'm new tonight to this sight, so maybe can help with next Friday!! :tongue: I like vodka with light cranberry juice (most bars won't have light, however). It's pretty refreshing, and great with a lime wedge squeezed in!
    I am going to have to try the Fresca & tequila as well, tequila is my drink of choice! That sounds like a good drink to try! :drinker:

    The tequila and Fresca thing sounds, interesting, but my "faux Margarita" is Tequila mixed with Minute Maid Light lemonade (comes in a can). It doesn't have the fizz that soda does, so it might feel more like the real thing. I didn't even know they still MADE Fresca.:bigsmile:

    I have discovered a new drink that I really LIKE!!:heart::heart: It is called a Thai Martini. You take vodka, mix with unsweetened Lime juice, and add a little sugar or one pack of Splenda, and a little ground ginger. I am not a martini drinker, but after drinking this, I have become one. Yummy,:heart: and since the mixer is lime juice, the calories aren't too bad either.

    A word to the wise--after a couple of these, calories will be the LAST thing on your mind, so designate someone to keep you out of the hors d oeuvres!!!:laugh: :laugh:

    Sorry I posted this so late for Friday night, but I was busy Friday night --drinking my new favorite Martini!!!!:laugh: :laugh:
