Guilt free alcohol?

Back when I was 19 and counting calories, I remember drinking gin and tonics because someone told me that they were lower in calories. Not sure if there's actually any truth to that - just remember that it's obviously easier to save calories with the mixer rather than the alcohol. (Now my drink of choice is usually red wine or a dark beer - I prefer to drink what I actually enjoy and then just work it off at the gym.)0

vodka tonic with lemon is my go to0

Not familiar with this *guilt* that you speak of.0

My go-to is a gin martini! Lots of bang for the calories!:drinker:
It's like we were separated at birth.0 -
I'm going to buy some crystal light, can anyone recommend a good flavour? The peach tea looks nice
that's my favorite flavor of it. some of them you can taste the zero cal sweetener in. I rarely ever drink it anymore, drank it a lot as a kid.0 -
Diet coke and rum is my go-to while dieting. However, if I know I'm going to be dancing all night, I'll get something with a few more calories. ;]0

Vodka and water (or soda) has been my go to drink for the last couple of months. Russian Standard is good enough for me
I generally would do Grey Goose. If I'm just mixing it with water, I've gotta use the good stuff!Can I buy this online? Sounds awesome
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.
just be aware that adding mysterious powders to drinks in a bar might raise some eyebrows0 -
Vodka and water with a lemon and/or lime. Good vodka, though, it doesn't work with the cheap stuff.0

It doesn't matter what kind, just the amount. Make sure it's just the right amount to get blackout. That way you have no recollection therefor no guilt.0

My drink of choice is Raspberry Absolut Vodka and Sprite Zero, sometimes I even throw the vodka in a blender with watermelon, yum!0

I got a lot of info on this board. It was recommended that the good stuff has a lot less calories. Three is a site called get drunk not fat that gives you the brands along with calorie amounts per oz.0

You can find low cal drink options. Someone mentioned vodka diluted with water and lemon... you could also try Skinny Girl drinks (I see them in a cocktail/mixed drinks section). Seagrams has 80 cal drinks as well though I haven't tried them to know how they are.
Frankly it's the sugar in alcohol that gets me I see how much it is and just don't want to drink anymore, lol0 -
Yuk, I wouldn't spoil my alcohol with sugar-free low-cal anything!
I much prefer to savour the flavour, and exercise to cover the calories I plan to drink :-)
Yep, this. Drink what you like, just plan for it.0 -
I drink until I stop seeing and hearing things.0

Seconded.0 -
Wine, sparkling wine, and champagne are my favourites.
Vodka/gin shots if I want hard liquor but usually I drink for the taste.0 -
Try Skinny girl cocktails. They are all low cal and pretty good...Otherwise, I agree with all the Vodka votes, lol. Plain water is kinda gross, so I would try seltzer-Polar seltzer is 0 cal, and they have yummy flavors. I like Polar seltzer in Buttercream and Vodka on ice. SO GOOD!!0

All alcohol is guilt-free if you drink enough of it! :laugh:
But seriously... any unflavored hard alcohol (rum, tequila, vodka, etc.) mixed with a diet soda is going to run you ~70 calories... mix with juice and you can probably count on another 30-50 calories on top of that.0 -
I really like the flavored vodka mixed with water. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka is only 66 calories/ounce and mixes GREAT with water. Tastes just like sweet iced tea. The UV vodkas mixed with sprite zero are pretty good, too.0
