Low-cal alcohol (that doesn't taste awful)?

Does anyone have recommendations for any widely-available (ex. most bars) that's remotely palatable (ex. sippable, not chug)? I ordered a bottle of Miller Lite because I was trying to stay within my limits today but it tasted like it came from a frat keg so got 36oz. (asked for 24 but they didn't hear) of Blue Moon. I knew it'd be a lot but I just logged it and it was almost 500 calories..what do you guys do/order? I'd prefer darker beers but those are even more calorie-laden. I don't drink often but I feel like having alcohol occasionally just throws everything off because of the crazy calories.

    Skinnygirl margaritas and other products. Yummy! Also, wine spritzers are good, and not too many cals!

    Gin and slim line tonic. With beer I think you just have to have the real deal and work it off.

    How low cal, is low cal? Lol

    I had a 275ml bottle of San Miguel on the weekend and it was 120 a bottle, the same as a bottle of Bud. There's also Stella Artois, which is 115 a bottle.

    I'm not sure if that answered your question. Probably not, but I just prefer to have the drink and then work it off. :)

    I've never had anything low cal that remotely tastes like the real thing...
    Amstel Malt and Stella Blue - are low cal but also alcohol free [doubly pointless!] :drinker:

    If I'm watching calories I have a short and slimline mixer [Gin and slimline tonic, Jack Daniels diet coke] etc but basically I prefer to save up the cals by exercising for it first and then sitting back and having a real good drink without the guilt
