    Before I stopped drinking, I drank rum and diet coke. I'm diabetic so I can't drink real soda. Is that an exception? XOXO

    You sir, would NOT want to be my friend. You would likely lose sleep over me and my food diary.

    I don't get what's so ridiculous. Someone doesn't want the added calories and sugar of regular Coke, what's the problem with using diet?
    The point is. It's absurd that someone who is drinking would have a "conscience" and choose diet coke. If they were really that concerned they shouldn't even be drinking in the first place.

    They don't want the added sugar from coke, yet they will take the added sugar from alcohol. Yeah, that sounds about right.

    So if they want to drink and are already consuming the calories in rum, they're wrong if they want to skip the other 120 calories in coke? People are really judgmental.

    I don't eat or drink diet anything, but I still wouldn't want to be your friend.

    Hi I just joined the site a couple days ago and looking for people to befriend. I am stunned that anybody actually bothered to make a Rum & Diet Coke and frankly i have a hard time believing it. You're kidding, right? If you use Diet Coke in your Rum & Cokes, maybe we shouldn't be friends. Finally I found a serving of Bacardi Light with Classic Coke and the recipe is like 6oz of Coke and a 1oz shot of rum. Are you serious? I don' t drink that often but when I do it's a special occasion and I'm not going to ruin a perfectly good celebration with a tiny little shot of rum in some Diet Coke. And then hurry up and come post it online. LOL!! This is so tragic to me. So if you are able to diet without going over the top with ridiculous things like that, PLEASE add me so I can post cute little snarky status updates about it, and get your feedback!! kThx .....

    What's tragic here is drinking Bacardi...
    as I sit here in the airport lounge sipping my Captain Morgan. And Diet coke.
    I just prefer diet, nothing to do with calories.

    6oz of cola 70 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 140kcal
    60z of diet cola 0 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 70kcal.
    you can easily save 350 kcal in a night of drinking.

    THIS. Every bit counts.... kinda like when I order a diet coke with my big mac... :)

    I couldn't give a **** what anyone thinks. I drink captain and diet coke with a twist of lime. I really don't give a **** about calories when I'm going out to party. Nor do I give two ****s about the amounts of sugar in it. Most good rum is made from SUGAR CANE anyways so wtf?!?! You're gonna get a hangover anyways, drink up! I just happen to like the taste of the diet coke over the regular coke when it's mixed with rum. It tastes a little like vanilla coke and I ****en like it!

    LOL, you are awesome and ditto!

    If you drink enough Jager, then you hurl, thereby negating all calories. And probably even some of the food calories from your day.

    I prefer my Captain Morgan 100 with Diet Dr Pepper, thank you. And don't pour me no skinny little shot, it better be a hearty 8-10 count.

    Add me if you like, I got the smart @ss portion covered, & I do NOT deny myself (anything. really.).
