Guilt free alcohol?

Ok, so being a 19 year old, I really enjoy going to the pub with friends and it sucks not being able to drink! Anyone got any tips to help? I want to be able to have a drink but unsure what to go for. Any help is much appreciated :) xx

    Vodka and water with a lemon and/or lime. Good vodka, though, it doesn't work with the cheap stuff.

    Coke and rum I heard is 95 calories (not completely sure). A guiness beer is about 100 calories.

    Crystal Light is a brand of water flavouring packets. One packet to a bottle of water or in this case a glass of vodka.

    Vodka and water (or soda) has been my go to drink for the last couple of months. Russian Standard is good enough for me :D

    I generally would do Grey Goose. If I'm just mixing it with water, I've gotta use the good stuff!

    Probably. It's good because you can order a vodka & water, and bring the little packets with you to the bar to add to your drinks.

    i'm stalking this post as i'm 19 too and it sucks not drinking! I found it's easier when you don't go out drinking though as you can use coke zero with rum or whatever spirits you like :)
    Spirits have the least cals in so i say drink them. wine, beer and cider are a no no unfortunately though weight watchers do have wine, plus search online for low cal wine (if you're a wine drinker) as some are low cal and don't sacrifice % unlike the weight watchers :)
    feel free to add me!

    It sure does. Have to go top shelf. Even with an orange is pretty good.

    Generally dealing with hard liquor the darker it is the more calories it has and anything spiced is generally pretty calorie heavy. Vodka seems like it has the fewest calories as long as it isn't flavored. I personally am a fan of vodka seltzer with a splash of cranberry juice (can't do straight vodka) with a twist of lime. YUM!

    This is my drink of choice - cheap and easy and there are so many flavors of crystal lite!!!
  • I usually prefer beer, but if I'm out at the bar and don't want to drink beer all night, my go-to drink is a vodka press! It's vodka, soda water and 7Up (or another lemon-lime soda). I usually get whatever diet soda they have and blueberry or peach vodka. I prefer the taste to just a vodka soda or vodka and water, although those are good low calorie options too.

    Cheers!:drinker:

    Blood Mary is one of the best drinks for you. Not only is Vodka low in calories, depending on where you get it you get a full serving of vegetables with every drink.

    If you don't know how to make it, it's
    Vodka
    Tomato Juice
    Worcestershire sauce
    Celery Salt
    Optional:
    Dill pickle juice
    Tobasco

    Vegetables people include are
    Celery
    Pickles
    pickled mushrooms
    Green olives
    and a myrid of other veggies you can include.

    It isn't. It's gross. ANd in my experience, it makes me more thirsty. Just chemicals.

    I recently had a vodka, soda, and passionfruit syrup when I went out with some friends. It was delicious, and I can't imagine it was very high in calories.
