Its friday! What are the lowest calorie alcohol drinks?

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

I like red wine, 6 oz glass has 150 calories BUT it's full of antioxidants that are GOOD for you.

Any Liquor and Diet Soda is around 60 cals.

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

if you want a beer,
Pabst Extra Light Low Alcohol is only 67 per 12 oz serving which is stunning, and Molson Light which is up to 82 for the same quantity. One of the few other beers coming in under 100 is Anheuser Busch Natural Light, at 95 calories per 12 oz.

if you want wine
white zinfandel tends to be one of the safest bets with a modest 80 calories. Other smart choices are Chablis, at 85, and chardonnays with around 90 calories all from 4 oz servings.with wine you get the benefit of all the good stuff from the grapes.

A good site to look at is www.get drunk not fat.com some of there numbers are a little kind but it gives you a starting place.

Everything in moderation have fun.And if you are going out to drink bring a designated driver so you will be back her on Monday and not somewhere a lot less fun. Drunk driving charges for your first offence can run you anywhere from 20,000.00-50,000.00 not to mention if your are in a wreak it is much worse. Not fun at all.

I am on super diet beer ! It's kicking to potato chips that is a problem !

If you like sweet, try the new skinny girl Pina Colada. It is 33 calories for 1.5 oz. It is a little sweet, without the brain freeze...

Just remember to drink more water when you drink so you don't get dehydrated and then hang on to too much water in the following days. It's not the calories that get me it's the water weight.

I also go for rum and diet. Spiced rum and diet sprite is yummy too tastes like cream soda.

Crystal Light Lemonade, Blueberry Vodka, and a little Blueberry Syrup (found next to the Maple Syrup). Awesome!!

Personally, i prefer quality rather than quantity! I have red wine 3/4 nights a week, just a small glass of 120 cals.

Hey!

I was in a nutrition course through my work and asked the counsellor her thoughts. She mentioned the same items as people have posted already (i.e. vodka and water, etc...) but she made another fantastic valid point...If you want to indulge and have something higher calorie and are able to budget for it in your day, say like having a pint of beer, drink it slower; you are less likely to drink more of it and become fuller quicker when you sip it.

Hope this helps

As long as you 're not as daft as me - i really thought vodka had zero calories until this Wednesday when I'd had 5 Vodka ann cranberries , 1 glass of champagne and a baileys - only on logging into myfitnesspal did I realise , and even then i had to google to confirm - stupid or what!
Anyways If i really want a drink it will be slimline G&T or white wine soda from now on.
Have your Friday drink enjoy it as the bartender guy says 2-3 will make you happy and doesn't do too much damage. Happy Friday!!

I usually have flavored vodka and then I take the Crystal Light on the go drink packets and mix it with a bottle of water.... It's about 70 calories per ounce of vodka and 5 calories for the mixer. It's refreshing. My fave is Blueberry Stoli and lemonade. Now I will admit that I have no self control on Friday evening so I pay dearly for the extravagance.... but like all things... I'm trying to do better.

Vodka and soda water with two limes! Hydration and alcohol combined
