    My friends are shot people. Our shots are Bacardi Limon. (around 65 calories) So I drink Miller 64 and of course the shots. I track all of my food/drinks for the day before we go out. I usually go over by a couple drinks and they never make it to my diary. I am losing, slowly.

    flavored vodka and soda water :)

    My favorite! Stick with decent vodka though. Cheap flavored vodka is too harsh for just soda water.

    Rum and diet coke.
    NO carbs, NO sugars, and it is only 65 calories for an 8 oz glass (1 ounce rum + 8 oz diet coke). Vodka also has no carbs, no sugars.

    Add lime to cut the sweetness down til you get used to such sweetness. Also nice, it can be tweaked to control your buzz, made (stronger or weaker.)

    Also, when i want a buzz, i tend to eat very little that day,
    so that i wont' have to drink much to get my buzz on, saves calories that way.

    Bud 66 and red stripe are quite low cal- I've learned to love them.

    Red stripe is good :) I drink wine everyday but when I want an extra glass I just make sure I burn some extra calories that day.

    Agree about the wine. I drink about 4 ozs of red wine every day. If you budget for it as a snack (ie. drink the 4 oz of wine instead of a eating a bag of chips or something) and don't overdo it, you'll be fine.

    Just to put it in perspective, I drink (sometimes) on the weekends. We're shot takers. I've started drinking captain morgon because its only 57 calories a shot. I elimated my usual chaser of coke. Not only am i not drinking the sugary coke, i tend to drink less in general.
    I just do a little planning before i start drinking and log what i can "afford" calorie wise into my diary and logg it in. If i limit myself to say 4, i'm usually pretty good about stopping at 4. I just make sure i eat before hand so i don't start splurging and i drink water during.
    My weightloss has stayed on track.

    My friend drinks MGD-miller genuine draft cause it has the lowest calories for beer but I dont drink it cause I have to drink too many to get a buzz. I like straight Miller light, its strong enough and i dont feel all bloated and gassy and usually I wake up with a flat tummy even after having 5 of them in one night, over a few hours of course.

    Bacardi and a diet soda. Personally I like to rock Four Loko drinks on Friday. They are pretty horrible for you but kick *kitten*. :drinker:

    I was just wondering what everyone drinks at the weekend? I know alot of you guys have probably cut alcohol out for a while, but there must be some of you who like a cheeky glass or two at the weekend? What are the lowest calorie drinks? I've been treating myself to a glass of white wine and sprite zero at the weekend. :drinker:

    My drink of choice is Bombay Gin and Tonic with a lime. I think it's 120 calories or so. I log it 3-4 times a week in my diary.

    I haven't given anything up, drinking or food-wise since I joined MFP about a year ago. I'm a runner and I run/workout/circuit train a lot. I've done a full marathon, half-marathon and 8k this year. I'm training for a half-marathon and 2-8ks this Fall. I also do circuit training classes at a local gym and Jillian Michael's DVDs.

    It's calories in vs. calories out so you can eat most of what you like (within reason!) as long as you burn it off :)

    Check out Skinny Girl cocktails. I get mine from Wal-Mart. I really like the White Cranberry Cosmo and the Sangria. They also have margaritas, wines, and flavored vodkas.

    Edit: If I go out I prefer Vodka Tonics and ask them to put a shot of cherry or lime syrup in it to give it some sweetness.

    Enjoy your weekend and feel free to add me if you like :)

    Thanks everyone for the tips! I will be trying them all out (Not all on one night!)

    Glad to hear that you don't have to cut every enjoyable thing out of your diet out!

    I hope you all enjoy your weekend!
