    Lucky bugger!


    If you mean from a "low calorie" perspective, then its vodka and diet coke / tonic or gin and diet coke / tonic... apparently.

    My diet drink: vodka & club soda with lime

    I usually try to do a Stoli O or something flavored like that to keep life interesting. It tastes clean and I don't wake up feeling bloated.

    Vodka and soda! Flavored vodka is a few more calories but a whole lot more flavour! A splash of cranberry if you've been a good girl.

    My poisons of choice...

    A nice merlot... 175ml - 84 calories
    Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum... 50ml - 100 calories (with diet coke of course... but I prefer it with diet coke anyway)

    To be honest... evenings with the Captain have probably helped me stay sane through the early weeks...

    I am going to assume you don't drink everyday so, I say drink whatever you want, as long as it is in moderation

    if you are getting an alcoholic beverage, might as well enjoy it.

    and if you are still worried about consuming alcohol and health progress you can also read this.

    Diet coke and rum isn't bad! Especially with a slice of lime. Same thing goes for diet gingerale.

    I know you said that vodka isn't your drink of choice, but it's worth giving a vodka and tonic a try. :)

    Tonic has a lot of sugar in it. Club soda is better. 1 can of tonic water has 32 g of sugar, 1 can of club soda has zero.

    wine has the lowest calorie by volulme and has a relatively high alcohol %. If you go for liquer I suggest mixing with flavored sparkling water (0 cal, 0 carb, 0 sugar) instead of soda and save yourself from the extra soda calories/carbs/soduim/sugar.

    Vodka + club soda + lime is roughly 80-90 calories depending on their vodka pour. It's definitely my skinny go to.

    I hear the best alcoholkic drinks for people watching their weight is clear ones like greygoos or smirnoff whipped cream. But iwould suggest water. That is great oo. Spike it with a wedge of lemon.

    vodka, sugar free cranberry juice (if they have it) as a chaser. If not, I do lime wedges to take the awful taste away. If I drink....which is rare....I drink to get f-ed up.
