To order a wine spritzer at a bar???
I have always been the girl that will take shots and drink drinks and not worry about the calories or anything.. but I have made myself so aware of how many calories I was drinking... going to the bar to watch UFC tonight and I am going to limit myself to 2 drinks and want to stay on the lower cal end of things... I love wine, but to make it more like a drink thought a wine spritzer would be best... but I never see anyone ordering wine spritzers at a bar LOL. or any other suggestions?

Seriously, we can't worry ourselves with such matters when it comes to health.
Few people even care.
I barely drink anything these days, and what others think of my lemon green tea is none of my business.
ENJOY!
And I predict dos Santos will KO Velasquez

No its not tacky at all. Tacky would be laying down across the bar while patrons do jello shots on your stomach. I see people order soda, water, coffee, tea, wine spritzers, etc while sitting at the bar. Who cares?0

I love wine spritzers. It's what my Grandma always drank....I don't think it's tacky at all. Although that's coming from someone who has drank wine out of a yahtzee shaker so don't take my word on it.0

Haha, the bars where I live have wine....but only boxed wine. There's no such thing as tacky when you live in a small town. Everything is acceptable,.0 -

Gin and tonic with diet tonic would be really low calorie and tastes great too!0

you are genius. I am so doing this!0 -
Bars make money on liquor, it's not tacky to order a drink at a bar, no matter what it is. If they have it, they'll make it no problem... I'm honestly not sure why it would be viewed as tacky...0

What I do is probably actually tacky
Ill order a nice dry Riesling and a soda water, drink half the wine as is, then dump the soda water in until the wine is full again.
It's actually really nice. And a good way to save $0 -
order a couple light beers...im not a wine fan so that would be my choice.0

thats awesome lol0 -
nah- its an easy way to enjoy a drink or two and make it last. Personally, I drink vodka sodas, low calories, dont have to worry about carbs and I add a bunch of time to it0

You're a woman. You get a free pass. Order what you want.0

I would order a pitcher of lime margaritas and share. No one cares what it is when you share. :bigsmile: And I just happen to love lime margaritas.0
