Rum and Vodka
Just make sure to mix it wiht diet sodas including tonic water, believe it or not tonice water is loaded with carbs

I try to limit my alcohol and relative to my previous social intake I have decreased it by more than half. When I do go out I stick to vodka. Flavored vodka is my favorite with soda and a lemon/lime or flavored vodka w sugar-free red bull (but even then I have the bar tender do a 50/50 of SF Red Bull and Soda). I still try to keep my total calories within my personal range even with booze.

Keto lowers your alcohol tolerance slightly, by the way.

I'd say it lowers it a lot!

Taken from the Keto Diet site:

"In short, yes you can still consume alcohol. However, while the body is metabolizing alcohol you cannot burn fat; it literally impedes your progress until the alcohol is processed. If you still insist on drinking try to stick with spirits that aren’t involved with sugar. Neutral spirits like gin and vodka are great examples. Be cautious, though, alcoholic tolerance is severely lowered in low-carb dieters. "

"And now, the cheat sheet:

Straight Liquor

•UNSWEETENED Vodka, rum, gin, tequila, whiskey, scotch, brandy, cognac (80 proof): 0g carbs, 64 calories PER OUNCE. A shot/jigger is 1.5 oz, or 96 calories.

•Mix any of the above with water, club soda, or diet soda to keep the 0g carbs. Tonic contains sugar and carbs! Martini lovers: be advised that dry vermouth contains carbs, so order 'em extra dry. The few drops probably won't hurt.

•Liquers, like amaretto, Jagermeister, Grand Marnier, curacao, cordials, sweet vermouth, limoncello, etc (basically anything sweet) contain sugars. Not always drank on their own, but they frequently sneak their way into cocktails.

Wine

Wines can vary based on any number of factors, but here are some averages:

Reds (5 oz. serving):

•Merlot: 120 calories, 3.7 carbs
•Pinot Noir: 121 calories, 3.4 carbs

•Cabernet: 120 calories, 3.8 carbs

Whites (5 oz. serving):

•Chardonnay: 118 calories, 3.7 carbs

•Pinot Gris/Grigio: 122 calories, 3.2 carbs

•Riesling: 118 calories, 5.5 carbs

•Champagne/Sparkling whites: 96 calories, 1.5 carbs

•Dessert wines, ports, and sherries are sweetened and should be avoided.

Beer

Unfortunately for beer fans, most of the good stuff is very high in carbs and calories. Especially anything red, amber, or dark. But all is not lost: some lighter beers are ok to drink.

Per 12 oz. serving... careful with the pints!

•Bud Select 55: 55 calories, 1.9 carbs

•MGD 64: 64 calories, 2.4 carbs

•Rolling Rock Green Light: 92 calories, 2.4 carbs

•Michelob Ultra: 95 calories, 2.6 carbs

•Bud Select: 99 calories, 3.1 carbs

•Miller Lite: 96 calories, 3.2 carbs
•Natural Light (for the keto frat guys): 95 calories, 3.2 carbs

•Michelob Ultra Amber: 114 calories, 3.7 carbs

•Coors Light: 102 calories, 5 carbs

•Amstel Light: 95 calories, 5 carbs

•Bud Light: 110 calories, 6.6 carbs

Miller Lite, Bud Select, and Mich Ultra are probably the winners in terms of carbs:taste ratio.

Don't Forget!

•Booze counts toward your daily calorie and carb counts!

•Alcohol delays fat-burning!

•Ketosis lowers your alcohol tolerance, so take it easy!

•Beware of the drunk munchies!

•Alcohol dehydrates you! Order a couple waters, and drink a glass before bed.

•Unsure of the nutritional value of your favorite drink? Look it up and let us know! If it tastes sweet, it's probably sugary and keto-unfriendly!
Keto does not mean the end of a social life. You can hit up the bars, but do so responsibly. Happy boozing!"

Gin and diet grapefruit soda (like fresca) is awesome

Keto lowers your alcohol tolerance slightly, by the way.

I'd say it lowers it a lot!

No kidding!! I found this out last night and all I had was 5 ounces of a dry red wine!!! Gracious!! I felt absolutely hammered.

I drink my bourbon "up" (no ice. no water, no mixers).

alcohol will take the purple out of your keto styx - even through the next day and possibly the next, depending on how heavily you drink (hard to do on such a low-carb diet unless you be certain to add a full glass or water and/or mug of coffee between every drink),
