    Quite frankly, it makes no difference.... Alcohol is so fattening and that's half the reason why a lot of people have weight problems... because they don't realize how much they are really drinking... then they are way too hung over to burn it off the following morning so the calories sit and turn into fat.

    Id do it...that not the drink of my choice but I cant stand the taste of REAL coke, so I always drink diet coke...even in my mixed drinks....for me, its not about the calories its about the taste. Give me a Jack and diet coke and im happy...better yet, just give me the Jack, neat.

    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 .....

    Is this real? Or is this a troll?

    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.

    I think you have a little captain in you... :drinker:

    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.

    that makes sense- I prefer diet coke over regular simply because of taste- and i don't even like the taste of alcohol so if I were to drink i really wouldn't want the "added" calories anyways.

    I guess this is really just a good option for those who plan on going overboard with drinking... or for those who do it often enough that it would actually impact their overall diet.

    There is no way I will destroy a good drink with diet mixers. If I am drinking, I want to enjoy the taste. It is not just about the calories.

    I also like the drink to taste like it has alcohol in it and 1 oz of anything does't really cut it.

    I eat and drink what I want and I was still able to reach my goal and maintain.

    I know, right? I mean, if I'm going to eat a cheeseburger, I darn well better eat a large order of fries with it ... otherwise what's the point?

    If I'm going to get a coffee, I darn well better drink it with whole milk and add extra shots of flavor ... otherwise, what's the point?

    Hmm. Wait a second. If I'm trying to lose weight, adding those extra calories doesn't make any sense at all.

    Logic fail.

    Honestly (before I started the diet) I liked the taste of diet coke over regular coke!! When I saw that you can have a "skinny *****" drink with diet coke and vodka, i was like YAY!!! Lol
