My parents and I are going out on the river to celebrate Labor Day today, and I'm wracking my brain for an idea of what low calorie alcoholic drinks to take with me. I need something that travels well in a cooler. Anyone have any ideas?

    Light beer or Mike's Light Hard Lemonade are both cooler friendly. Drinking and boating is just as dangerous as drinking and driving so please drink responsibly.

    Light or ultra light beers? Not my style but you do what you have to sometimes.

    Captain Morgan's Original Spiced Rum and Diet Coke - 1.5oz (jigger) of 35% alcohol = 90 calories

    A pirate-inspired cocktail seems most appropriate for out on the water. Drink responsibly!

    If it is just for yourself then one of those extra small bottles of red or white wine which contain one 250ml glass of wine, which is a large glass and 2 units ,the maximum daily allowance for a woman anyway. The size means you wont be tempted to drink more which would put you over on units, be a waste of calories if you exceeded the 250 cals in the 250 ml bottle and finally would be dangerous imo to drink more whilst on a vessel on water, you could also add soda to turn it into a spritzer and make it larger.

    Vodka shots! Perfect for the parents! :D In all seriousness though, I agree with something you can mix with soda water. The fizz makes it feel a lot fancier than it is.

    Vodka or whiskey with seltzer or diet soda...that's all I drink anymore. A 1.5oz shot of vodka has around 100 calories. I put half a shot in each drink....2-3 shots will keep me going all night that way. : )

    Note: Seltzer, not club soda. Club soda has a lot of sodium, and some people like to watch out for that.
