    Alchohol in and of itself isn't horrible for you. There are two huge issues, however. The first is mixers, which was mentioned. The second is BAR FOOD. I know for me, when I'm buzzed I'd eat an intire fried cow if it was sitting in front of me. Anything and everything is game, which is why I eat before I go to the bar, then stay below the buzzed line. I had 3 beers the other night, but because I ate before I went I never got buzzed, so I wasn't tempted to eat anything while I was there.

    Honestly the best thing is vodka water. A friend turned me onto it. I know it sounds stupid, but if you get a good quality vodka and toss a lime in there, its quite tasty. Vodka has the least amount of calories of all the liqour (albeit by a small margin). Plus the water you get in ever drink keeps you hydrated.

    I used to drink rum and diets all the time and I still do from time to time. If you're going to have a drink or two, that's fine. But for me personally if I'm going out to have a good time and am going to have more than a couple, I'd rather avoid all that artificial crap and stick to vodka water.

    Try it out and see if you like it!

    My favorite are Mojito and Cosmo both are pretty low cal. I'm not a big fan of artifical sweetners ( i dont like the diet taste) but some might use the crystal light for the cranberry in the Cosmo.

    I may well try the vodka water & lime. Sounds refreshing unlike vodka and diet coke which I had 3 of today and tasted nasty. Flat, watery syrupy and with the taste of cheapo Smirnoff vodka. Best find me a pub tomorrow in London that sells GOOD vodka.

    for drinks listed by their alcohol content to calorie ratio, check out getdrunknotfat.com

    i find that liquor of choice + seltzer water or diet tonic is the best
