Alcohol

Unfortunately, with all the chemicals in them "diet" drinks are worse than regular. If you want to drink, try drinking one glass of water after every alcoholic one. That way you drink less overall and your kidneys get a flushing as well.

Lucky for you, Guinness is one of the lowest-cal beers out there without going to light beer - 125 calories for 12 oz, I think. Careful with the other craft beers, though... Most of the ones I like run 200-300 cals per 12 oz. Liquors like vodka, whiskey, tequila, etc will be between 65 and 75 calories per ounce, so if mixed with calorie free mixers or drunk straight it's about as low cal as you'll get. Keep in mind a standard pour at a bar is 1.5 oz, though. Wine will run you 130 calories (white) to 150 calories (red) per 6 oz glass.

Yeah craft beers will get you!

Figured this fun copy and paste would be a fun read rather than just linking it.

"Drinking Stout Is Good For You

It Has Less Calories Than Beer
Thick and frothy, and with an alcohol content of up to eight per cent, it’s understandable why stout is often misunderstood as packing more calories than other types of beer. The truth is, it is actually lighter on your waistline. In fact, a mug of stout can have up to 50 fewer calories than other brews. And if you switch a six-pack of beer for stout for one week, you’ll put on less weight – nearly 2kg – in the span of a year! How’s that for an excuse to clank mugs?

It Contains Antioxidants
Yes, stout really is healthier. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin in the US found that stout possesses antioxidants not found in other lagers. What’s more, it also contains traces of iron, says Sheeba Majmudar, nutritionist and founder of the Herbal Health Clinic (sheebathenutritionist.com). It turns out the high-temperature roasting process that is required to develop the smooth finish of dark malts also fuels the formation of antioxidants.

“Dark beers are loaded with them and, on average, contain nearly twice the amount of antioxidants found in light-coloured lagers,” says Joe Vinson, PhD, a researcher at the University of Scranton in the US. “The antioxidants in beer are better at reacting with toxic free radicals than the ones in antioxidant vitamin pills.”

It Can Help Reduce Blood Clotting
Food doesn’t need to be paired only with wine. Stout is perfect with full-bodied foods like steak because “they have caramelised and roasted flavours that match perfectly with the char on the meat,” says Garrett Oliver, author of The Brewmaster’s Table.

Another good reason to chug stout with food is that the flavinoids in dark beer can reduce the risk of blood clotting, says John D Folts, PhD, professor of medicine and director of the Coronary Thrombosis Research Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin in the US. Drinking stout with meals can help fight the free radicals that are triggered when the body begins metabolising food."
