    i really like the skinny girl drinks. i dont know how many calories for sure, but i know the vodka isnt too bad mixed with a diet drink. I love drinking too much :P

    - I'll sometimes do guacamole or salsa w veggies. They usually come with chips but if they have veg for other dishes they'll usually switch it up.
    - Seafood like mussels or oysters are good but usually come with big hunks of buttered white bread so I ask for them without bread so it's not tempting me.
    - some places do edemame beans, that's always a pleasant surprise

    - you could try a hard alcohol like vodka with soda water (NOT tonic as that has unnecessary calories) and a splash of lime ---> Here's the key: ask for it in a pint with easy ice. You're still sipping, it lasts longer

    - Finding other friends who have the same concerns and drinking with them might work well. What my girlfriends and I do now is we go over to each other's houses to drink and bring healthy snacks we've made like fruit, veg and my fave, low fat pilsbury crescent rolls made with veggie dogs dipped in mustard

    Hope that helps!
