    To add my two cents, and in line with what many others have said, the trick is to stay away from the artificial sweeteners and empty calories that come with sodas and flavored mixes. Most liquors are generally about the same and make up a small portion of those drinks calories. Keep it natural and keep it light.

    There are many great drinks with juices like cranberry, orange or grapefruit. Choose your favorite alcohol and throw in a splash of club soda, which is basically just agua con gas, to give the drink a great base. Then add your favorite garnish, like lemon, lime, orange, cherry (or mint like someone else mentioned!) and boom, your drink is ready.

    Also, if you get them on the rocks, you can make the drink last longer while also getting some water to keep you hydrated :)

    Happy Drinking!

    Have a LITTLE Vodka, switch to club soda with lime. No one will notice that you've switch because it looks like you're ordering vodka! You'll be the only not in pain tomorrow! Nice perk and you stayed on your plan!

    First, people need to learn how to have fun without drinking. There is no law that you have to drink in such settings. BUT that wasn't the question. :)

    If you're going to drink, I say limit it to two drinks, and make it whatever your favorite drink (or favorite 2 drinks) is/are, and drink them slowly, and really enjoy them. BUT Count them. in fact, if you can plug them into your diary ahead of time, it might help you plan the rest of your day a little better.
