    I throuroughly enjoy my beer. So if I buy a case to drink I'll get Bud Select 55. Only 55 calories a bottle. If I'm out I'll get a Busch Light, which has around 110 calories in a bottle. Basically I just drink a few on the weekends and hardly ever during the week. I'm still losing and I maintain my tone. If you're going to indulge just be prepared to work it off :)

    I make margarita's out of Crystal Light Margarita Flavor, it's fairly new but you toss it in the blender with some ice and tequila and it makes a nice drink. I can't remember the brand off the top of my head but I found a tequila that is 65 calories per ounce so it makes a good low cal drink.

    I do the same thing with vodka and rum with various flavors of Crystal Light. I also will use rum with skim milk, banana, strawberries, blueberries and a little bit of low fat ice cream, frozen yogurt or custard and blend that up. It's a little more in calories but is quite good. Rum and Vodka are typically 70-80 calories per ounce. ery low cal beers as well

    will you come to my house and bartend???

    stuff like vodka, whiskey and rum have 55 cals per 25ml shot plus a diet mixer will add one more cal per 250 ml of the mixer so that would probably be ur best bet, stick to spirits and not alcopops

    I've recently acquired a bottle of Smirnoff Whipped Cream flavored vodka -- goes GREAT with diet A&W root beer, diet Sunkist soda, and diet Ginger Ale!

    Bacardi and coke zero. Around 52 calories and thats only because of the rum.

    vodka diet 7up

    This, and Diet Coke w/ Capain Morgan rum. Pretty much any hard liquor and a diet drink will be the lowest you can go.

    I've said this many times on here....in these types of threads.

    IF you are drinking the low cal beers :: I did a little personal research, specifically on the bud 55 and miller light comparison. In alcohol content vs calories::

    Bud 55 has less alcohol content along with the less calories. SO.....

    You end up drinking more of them to get the same drunken effects as the Miller Lite, but you get around the same amount of calories (maybe less) in the Miller Lite by drinking fewer of those, and in turn less liquid in your stomach.

    If you mix, do it with a coke 0 product, or other zero calorie mixer.

    This was an article posted on Lifehacker health. It gives the healthiest alcoholic drinks based on not only calories, but other benefits you can get from certain drinks (i.e. antioxidants from wine, vitamin A from the tomato juice in a bloody mary, etc.).

    I found a recipe on here for low cal Margarita's that are actually really good. Thanks to finallychelle for this recipe as it's really good.

    Into a 12oz glass add 1oz of tequila (or to taste), one packet of Crystal Light Lemonade powder, 2 tablespoons of ReaLime (or similar), some ice cubes and 8oz of Diet 7UP (or Diet Sprite).

    Mix thoroughly, garnish with a slice of lime-- and drink!

    You can optionally add a splash of Triple Sec and/or Grand Marnier.

    Most tequilas have around 69 calories/oz, the Crystal Light has 5 calories— and everything else has 0 calories.

    So our 12oz margaritas have only 74 calories in them

    Vodka, coconut water, and lemon. I especially like to drink this in the summer because the coconut water is full of potassium and has no fat and low carbs. Very refreshing!
