Hi guys,

When trying to keep your diet on track, what drinks do you try and stick to and what do you avoid?

    Normally, I drink water. If I'm boozing it up, I prefer vodka, but I haven't found a low-cal mixer I like.

    I tend to have wine, but then continue with bloody marys if I'm getting a "wine head". I like to think that the tomato juice is the healthiest option! Plus it really does help with lowering the level of hangover acquired.

    Michelob Ultra is awesome and tastes better than MGD 64 or Bud platinum. If you're looking for something harder, most straight whiskeys or vodkas are your best bet.

    I drink Bacardi and Diet Coke with a lime twist. 65 calories. You can also try Grey Goose and Club Soda with a lemon twist. It's very refreshing.

    If I have a drink, it's normally Vodka or Gin. Diet tonic with the gin and a splash of Rose's lime juice with the vodka

    If I want beer I go with Michelob Ultra or Miller Lite. People think Miller Lite and Bud Light are the same. Miller has 96 calories per 12oz serving. Bud Light has 110.

    If I want liquor, I will do rum and diet coke with a lime wedge or vodka and sugar free redbull.

    Wine is also good. It's not extremely low in calories, but at least you get the added bonus of antioxidants especially in reds.

    I drink whatever as long as it fits in my calories. If I know it's going to be a big drunken night, the I'll try to exercise throughout the day to earn extra calories. I tend to go for the whiskey, or rum.

    Malibu rum and Crystal Light. According to what I have found 1oz. of Malibu has abour 51cal and Crystal Light 5. If that is correct you can rock out 56cal drinks.

    But, I have been wrong before . . .

    You can also try the "Skinny Girl" brand of mixed drinks. I've only had the margarita, but it was pretty good.

    None. Stopped drinking 30 years ago and I have never missed it.

    Vodka and slimline if I'm being conscious of calories...but my preference would be to say sod it and have wine!
