    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.

    Vodka, water and a splash of lime.
    Or vodka and diet coke

    Or vodka with club soda and a splash of lime

    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.

    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,

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

    This ^^^ This ^^^ This^^^ is my favorite thing !!!

    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.

    A glass of whisky - I'll do bourbon or Scotch. I'll usually eat some shelled pistachios or almonds to prevent the munchies and other bad habits from taking over.

    Drink something good and dance off the calories.
    Most 80 proofs run about 64 cals per oz.
    It says I'd burn about 400 cals dancing for an hour at a club (190lbs), so 6.25 oz = 60 minutes of dancing.
    Your dance mileage may vary.

    Not sure I understand the question - do you feel you *have* to have a drink, or you *want* to have a drink?

    Alternately - what's wrong with just club soda or a bottle of Pellegrino?
