I am going out in 2 weeks for a meet up with my friend which involves a little drink! I was wandering what drinks are less drastic on the calories would be great for some advice :)

    I usually stick with vodka waters or gin and tonics.

    For mixed drinks, it's usually the mix that adds up quick.

    I bring my crystal light (lemonade) and add Tequila for my own margarita on the rocks.

    My favourites are any Shots, Spirits with any zero calorie mixers (eg. vodka lime soda, rum & diet coke, etc) or just straight, as well as dry wines or low carb beers on occasion too. Just remember to stay strong and not blow your diet while under the influence! ;)

    spirits (vodka, gin, whiskey, etc) with diet soda. (around 55 cals per 25 ml / single)

    white wine / champagne (around 80 cals per 125 ml glass) or around 500 cals per bottle (add soda water or diet lemonade to make a 'spritzer' which will make the drink last longer).


    Avoid fruit-juices if you want to keep calories down as well as cocktails which often contain syrups, cream, etc.

    Lagers / ciders contain around 200 to 300 calories per pint.

    Scotch averages 65 cal / oz. That would be my drink of choice.

    Haha, thanks guys! I will keep all this in mind and try not to devour any burgers on the way home! (I'm known to buy hotdogs, burgers and devour them within minutes!)

    If you're planning on buying a bottle at any point, I'd highly suggest Three Olives pomegranate flavor or Skol raspberry. Both of these mix amazingly with some diet cherry dr. pepper. Three Olives is really sweet and tastes like some girly fruity drink.

    Aaannnd if you are making your own drinks, definitely weigh the alcohol as you're making each drink. I usually put about 2oz of vodka, fill the rest of the glass with soda and continue. Guaranteed wasted on around 600 calories (or less?) :drinker:
