Going out-what to drink?

Posts: 33
This question is on my mind for a few days now. I enjoy going out with my friends, but as I heard alcohol has many many calories! Is there any specific alcohol which is "not that bad" in calories?
I don't drink so much anyway but a glass of white wine is quite nice from time to time.
Please help! Don't wanna mess up my diet with consuming too much calories from drinking!
Thanks in advance!

thanks, I prefer wine to drink much more than water when I'm going out, but thanks0

a glass of wine is about 120 calories give or take for white or red, a vodka diet tonic or club soda about the same, stay away from any juice mixers that is what packs the calories, you are probably safest with wine, have fun!!0

alcohol is 7 cals / gram so a 80 proof (40%) liquor is going to have about the same amount of cals regardless. 40% / 28 grams per oz is 11.5 grams of alcohol per oz of liquor x 7 = 78.4 cals per oz. The only thing that adds is the mixer, so stay away from coke, cranberry, etc. Drink vodka soda with a lime. It will still add up, becasue most drinks have at least 1 1/2 ounces of vodka in them. I also really like Bud Select 55 which you can imagine by the name, only has 55 calories per. If you have one vodka and a couple 55's, you should be ok.0

I think about what to drink as well when i'm at the pub chillin with friends. Light beer, wine, vodka water are options. But if you're starting out like me, maybe it's best to cut the booze. I drank water last night and saved on my bill0

vodka and water with barlime only 69cal a drink and so good.0

I go with a wine, or a mixed drink with a diet soda & ask for extra ice in my drinks.
If I plan on drinking a lot, I will take shots and drink glasses of ice water in between.0 -
