I get asked out an awful lot for socialising drink nights out, special occasions etc and find it hard not to have a little drink, but what is best to have?

Ive heard it is vodka, is this true?

    rum and diet coke... 65 calories or so for a single shot. That's definitely my drink of choice when I'm out. Light beer isn't horrible, it usually is around 100-110 calories per 12 oz.

    My sister actually just told me about Vodka & water.....then mix it with the Crystal Light Go Packets (Flavor of your choice) - 0-5 Calories!

    I have a select 55, not to bad, just takes a little getting used to. But only 55 calories, you can have 2 to one normal beer

    I drink whatever I want too, just make sure you account for it in your daily caloric intake, and maybe do some exercise to give you the added calories for the night.

    Just to clarify on Bud Select 55...It has half the alcohol of regular light beer. So if you are drinking it solely to socialize, it's great. If you are drinking it to get drunk, you will have to drink twice as much, so it's pointless. Go with Michelobe Ultra if that's the case.

    This would be more that 5 calories as vodka has calories (1 shot has 56) so this drink would be about 60 cals. Alcohol is a type of carb that has 5 calories per gram when regular carbs only have 4 calories per gram.

    Ahh, if there was only an chocoholic beverage with no calories! I have certain things that I do that just goes with alcohol; horse riding, bowling, watching hockey, night out with friends, etc. I pretty much stick with Bud Select 55 or rum with diet cola. I have also had vodka with crystal light too which is pretty good too. Or if you know you are going out just add some more workout minutes to compensate for the extra calories you will be drinking. Best of luck!!

    Me too,if I know I'm drinking and I do,I acount for it on the calorie counter,I'll add in 9 miller lights and it gives me the calories,then I make sure I don't have over that amount during the day,definitely burn 5 or 6 hundred calories working out beforehand so you can still have some healthy nutritional food during the day,and try to have a filling snack before you get started because there is no eating afterwards.
