My heart is sad. I found out one single oz of single malt scotch is freaking 68 calories!!!!!
At least it's a sipper...
What drinks do you all like? It's so hard...they really pack a punch calorically speaking....

Red wine! Talk about calories. 110 in just 5 oz And who are we kidding only drinking 5 oz is laughable! I still have my wine nearly every single night but I try with all my heart and soul to stick to my piddly 5 oz. Booooo! I've changed a lot of the ways and things I eat but I'm not giving up my wine0

Oh I KNOW! Looove me some red. (Try Menag a Trois sometime...sooo tasty). We just got a bottle of it and I've only had a teeny bit so far...Such a disappointment.0 -

I love me some beer too. Biggest problem is I hate HATE light beer. I mean...Blue Moon is pushing it. I usually like Stouts and Porters...you know-almost need a spoon to consume it? If I can see my hand through the glass, I'm not happy. The darker the better...but those beers are so much higher in calories.0 -
I drink (and am drinking) red by the vat and am making great progress in the fat loss stakes.
The other aspects of my life have turned to #@%! but hey, I look fit0 -
You consider 68 calories to be a lot?0

I hear that, I got a six pack of James Squire Porter earlier in the week as a Birthday treat and I'm rationing myself to one a night then moving onto the red.
The lighter stuff just isn't worth the bother for me.0 -
Yaaaay! Someone else understands my dark beer misery! So delicious and soooo full of calories. Worth it!0

My mom really like the Skinny Girl Cosmos they're a little lower in calories than other drinks. I've tried the Mikes Light Lemonade and it just doesn't cut it for me, so I still drink my Smirnoff Ice on the weekends and just try to work around it. I'm still losing weight despite it.
When my friends come home I drink hard liquor. It's only occasionally but I've found when I'm drinking things like Vodka I eat everything in sight. That's the biggest problem I have with alcohol.0 -
Oh, and I'd drink neat spirit with no thought to calories if it didn't kill my digestive system.
I suspect I have done my spirit limit ...0 -
So let me just tell you that I was in Nola this past weekend and of course you can't go to Nola and expect to not drink a bit. We only ate 3 times in the 4 days we were there (if we weren't at the bars we were sleeping. No time for food) but I blew up like a balloon. I looked so swollen when I got home! Just looking at pictures from the first day to the last day I looked like I easily had bells palsy or something along those lines. And I didn't really drink much beer or wine (yum yum) at all. It was a lot of vodka sprites and hurricanes (can't go to Nola without having a few hurricanes ).
Now that I've been back home for 5 days and I'm back on my normal diet, I'm not swollen anymore and I look normal. It just saddens me that liquor has that effect on my body.0 -

glad drinking doesnt bug me. my husband on the other hand stresses himself out figuring out how much of a walk he needs so he can have a few several times a week. I say get off it for 6 months or so.. why not? but then again Im not a drinker- so I just dont get it, why taking a time out from such high calorie (empty at that) would be so hard to do.
What he does- eats perfectly for the day- earns several hundred cals from a run/walk- drinks that night what he exercised off.
I think its counter productive but it is working for him.0 -

The Guinness is rubbish around here, if it wasn't I'd be the size of a cow0 -
I love wine. But I cannot moderate. So I just have to mostly leave it. :-(0

um well I like my wine - both red and white sweet or dry depends on my mood and what I am eating - case point we went to wine country in march and I bought 4.5 cases of wine - Now I know why they love it when you do tastings
I also like liquer - flavored vodka - right now Pinnicle Cake or whipped flavor - straight, or irish cream whiskey or my new fav Wild Turkey Honey Bourbon.............
So with all the cals in those I have really been try to limit what I get to drink - so besides wine -(i have 2 cases left) my house is dry right now - though my husband is wanting to stock back up0 -

It would be funnier if it wasn't true
Seriously, getting regularly sloshed while dropping fat is a kind of pet project of mine.
I should do a DVD0
