Red, White, Beer, or Liquor?

_Pseudonymous_

I was wondering, if one was to drink alcohol which would be the best drink for someone on a diet plan? I'm not saying I want to get completely snockered, just that I'm not sure about cutting out ALL alcohol ALL the time... just when I do, what is the smartest option?

I realize that I could probably google a million blogs or some post by Oprah about it but A.) I am intellectually lazy at this moment and B.) I rather enjoy the social interaction that may incur due to this post. So please, fling your opinions upon me.

Really? I've never tried scotch before but I am always up for an adventure or a challenge. Thanks!

The answer is always Guinness.

This!

All alcohol is going to be pretty much empty calories so decide what you want to drink (taste wise) and then look for a healthier alternative (obviously the healthiest thing would be to leave out the alcohol).

Gin and diet tonic or Vodka and diet tonic.

Decide what you want and fit it in.

All of the above

cmriverside

Any unsweetened liquor will be 65-70 cals per ounce. Scotch, Vodka, Gin, Tequila, White Rum. Bourbons are probably a little more, and any of the flavored vodkas and rums and darker rums are a little more.

Drink them up, on the rocks, with water or soda (like seltzer) with a lime or lemon if you like.

YES, to all!

I have a friend who was getting in shape for a show he was cast in, and all he drank was red wine. He looks pretty damn good now, and keep in mind he's joked about basically being a functioning alcoholic, in that he drinks at least one or two glasses daily.

If you just want to get drunk, vodka shots are the answer.

Beyond that, drink what you enjoy. I drink several times a week and have managed to stay right around my ideal weight and body, and I drink wine (red and white), beer, and occasionally liquor. It is worth mentioning when I drink liquor, I usually splurge for something higher quality that I can drink on the rocks, but that's really because a) I'm a liquor snob and b) I don't keep soda and juice around the house anyway, so buying some to have the occasional mixed drink is silly. Also worth mentioning beer is apparently a really good recovery drink after an long and intense cardio work out.

Red Wine became my choice of beverage after I figured out that My Beloved Beer was working against me because I am not overly tolerant of items containing gluten... damn genetics...

EatClean_WashUrNuts

I drink it all, and rarely count it.

be careful if you drink tequila, apparently it makes one's clothes fall off. true story, bro.

wine is about 25 calories per ounce.

diet tonic is disgusting IMO, I tried it once thinking how bad could it be.... bad.

but I think, if you are going to splurge, splurge on something you like and make it fit.

I'm a big fan of red wine or vodka :blushing:

Also, I have no plans on getting Swasted, I would just like to imbibe and enjoy my evenings out, or in, with friends on occassion. I'm already the crazy health person who hinders our being able to go places raising cane's... i done want to be the crazy sober person as well who stands, stares, and judges behind my mask of jealousy.

Beer.

Hello! New here, but since I also feel like a functioning alcoholic, I will say that I drink about 4 glasses of wine a night and have lost 30 lbs. and toned up quite nicely. The wine I drink is sunset blush.

Substitue never for rarely and that's me.

I don't log exercise either, none of it.

Can't be arsed.

Mine's a large glass of red, thanks.

Wine. I like to feel classy drinking out of my wineglass (it used to be a solo cup..I upgraded.) lol
