I'm already over on my sugars today... So I might be doomed anyway lol. Ideas would be much appreciated. Except if it's DON"T DRINK AT ALL. I already know this..... and that doesn't help me!

Thanks (:

    well, what do you like to drink?

    red wine is pretty good.

    Also, maybe wine spritzer? And any other spirits mixed with diet/light mixes/juice... vodka/light cranberry, rum/diet coke, etc...

    I was reading another thread on this and they were saying vodka and water and bring crystal light packets and pour those in it.

    If one drink is going to "ruin your whole day", you're missing out on the point of drinking.

    It's really not difficult to budget 200-300 calories into your day.

    Rum and Diet Coke
    Or
    Jack and Diet Coke.

    Depending on how strong you want it, 78-312 calories. haha

    You can drink whatever you want if you burn the Calories off by dancing on the bar. :bigsmile:


    Or, just go with some Jagermeister and call it a day.

    I was thinking the same thing and what is sounding really yummy to me right now is........

    Coconut rum, sprite and squeeze of lime (SO yummy)

    or

    Red wine, diced strawberries, peaches, pears, sprite and ice (I haven't had this - but I want to).

    Cheers!

    Gin Ricky, replace the simple syrup with a packet of splenda (depending on how sweet you want it). So basically gin, soda, lime juice and splenda to taste...

    No worries. I have the calories put aside.... So I'm good to go! I'm pretty sure I can't go with my normal drink though -> Long Island lol

    Bacardi Rum is really as low as it gets. The rum is a mighty spirt fo' a pirate like me, arrr. Particularly spiced rum.

    This! Order a nice scotch and savor it.

    On the other hand, if you're just looking to get drunk on the fewest calories, go with vodka soda.

    I agree Long Island Tea is a great first choice. I liked the suggestion to not worry about what you drink and dance it off. Or you could go rum, diet, and dancing and acctually create a calorie deficit at the bar!

    Yeah... rum or vodka mixed with a diet soda of some sort seems to be pretty safe,

    This is awesome!! In place of the crystal light I use powerade zero. Also, stick in some ice, blend and you have a great frozen drink.
