    I am trying to stick to Smirnoff and diet tonic. It is refreshing and 1 shot only has 56 calories. I also like bud select which is (I think) 96 calories.

    I love BEER and have switched to Canandian 67- it grows on you after a while! Good luck and just go to the gym first thing in the morning so you can earn extra calories

    Sorry. Bud Select is 99 calories. There is a 55 calorie but it has no taste.

    Yeah, that 55 calorie one is NASTY. It starts off with no taste and then the aftertaste is just weird and gross. I can't even describe it. I like to just get patron on the rocks with extra lime.

    Mikes Hard Lemonade, the light version, isn't too bad on calories. Don't know what it is off the top of my head but I know it didn't break the bank for me when I had one the other week

    I'm not a big drinker but what about rum and coke zero? (not sure how it would taste but there really would only be calories in the rum since I think coke zero has either none or like maybe 2)

    The hardest part of changing my calorie intake is giving up the beer and drinks on the weekend. Ive just cut back on tha amount- Im sure im wasting tons of calories on it. I had no idea how many calories were in a six pack- wow

    Sailor Jerry + Coke Zero is my husband's favorite drink. The only calories in it are the calories in the alcohol (which will obviously vary depending on how strong you pour your drinks), and it tastes really good! We're partial to Sailor Jerry because it has a slight hint of cherry in it, and it marries wonderfully with all varieties of cola drinks..though I prefer mine with water.

    Vodka and diet soda and lime. I put chunks of lemon and lime and an umbrella in it so I can pretend it's a cocktail, or a mojito light? I also like Coors Light...I say 'like it' but I guess it is an acquired taste!

    I also water down my wine with ice cubes...you can drink more wine but you are having water with it!

    Geez, I sound like a real acoholic!

    I like either rum & diet coke or champagne. Wilson Creek Winery makes the BEST Almond Champagne. It is totally worth the 100 or so calories in it.
