    Chanpagne and dry white wine has around 90 calories per glass (depends on the size of your glass, obviously!)

    Vodka with a diet mixer like diet coke, or else vodka soda water and lime (not the lime cordial though)

    Vodka and slimline tonic

    About 55 calories each woohoo!

    White wine and soda water Spitzer, same calories double the volume, half the need to buy the next drink.

    Start with a triple vodka then you won't give a damn about calories

    But seriously gin and slimline tonic is eighty Cals and I now make every second drink a water.

    Slimline G&T is 56cal for a single, 112 for a double. Vodka rather than gin takes it up to 58cal, 113 for a double. Unfortunately they are the skinniest drinks I know of.

    The biggest challenge is to resist the pina colada cocktails and kebab on the way home if it's going to be a big night! It's really hard to make your friends understand that 'just one' really does make a difference, especially after a few drinks. But don't be too hard on yourself, just take it all in moderation!

    Have a good night! :)

    Skip diet coke. That stuff is poison to the human body. If you have to use soda go with the real thing. Personally I'd just go with water instead.

    1g alcohol = 9 cal
    vodka or any 40+ % spirits would be low when compared to beer as you need to drink less to get drunk faster.

    Basically the lowest calorie is clear spirit with diet mixers.

    My favourites are gin and slimline tonic or vodka and diet coke - but you can have whatever you like. vodka and slimline tonic is nice too or bacardi and diet coke.

    Wine is another good choice since you usually wont drink it as fast - I know I'd usually have 4 glasses of wine in the same time as 6-8 spirit and mixers. Can have wine and soda too to make it an even longer drink.

    Avoid any alcopops and beers and you should be fine :-) xx

    For me it's not so much the calories in the alcohol, but in the amount of food I want to eat afterwards/the next day and the potential for skipping the next days workout thats the problem. In the UK, we have alcohol free Kopparberg cider which is pretty good alternative to actually boozing.

    Either way, have fun on your night out, I'm sure you deserve it!

    vodka, not bar rail brand, but good quality vodka is around 70 -90 calories per ounce then do a low cal mixer. i am a vodka diet mountain dew or diet coke drinker myself.

    like others have said - try to avoid the late night greasy food fest. - choose pretzels instead.

    but in the end it comes down to:

    ***** don't stress about calories for one day and have fun - one night is not going to make or break you ******
