Hi! My birthday is coming up soon! I am going out for a drink or two. What would you suggest to drink that is low in calories?
How should I drink... alternate with water, etc. eat a lot, eat a little, etc.

    I would suggest that if you want to - let loose. One night of having fun won't kill you. Trust me. Just get back on track the next day.

    You only turn 21 once. Would you rather remember it as an extra fun night, or one in which you analyzed the calorie content of each of your drinks?

    Yeah you only get to turn 21 once. I didn't get to have a crazy 21st because my birthday falls right before end of semester exams, so definitely just let loose!

    ^^yes!!!! dont look back and say you didnt get to have a blast! Go out, drink lots of tasty drinks people buy you...eat some midnight pizza and some tasty pancakes in the morning (or whenever you wake up)...and the day after your hangover....go back to what youre doing now. One day wont kill you, friend :)

    I'd say just don't go crazy. I got drunk once, at 18 (legal age to drink over there, although I happened to be in England around English people when that happened)... never again.

    It's your 21st birthday. Go out, have fun. Don't worry about fitting stuff into your calories. Just be safe!! Happy early birthday. :)

    I had a far better morning after my 21st, I believe due to the fact that I drank a full glass of water in between each drink. This not only slowed me down but also kept me hydrated, which made my night last longer. And I felt great the next day! If you are REALLY looking for a low calorie drink, I'd go for straight alcohols rather than sugary shots like washington apples, fireball, etc. I'm a vodka girl myself :)

    Go out and enjoy yourself. If you are that concerned about the calories, check out the website getdrunknotfat and choose which adult beverage you would like to enjoy that night. Happy Birthday.

    Well vodka and soda is probably the lowest in cals. I think that you deserve a break from counting though. Its a milestone birthday! Live it up :)

    Straight liquors and wine. Stay away from mixed drinks (like the sweet martins etc) if you're really going to worry about it.

    Enjoy the moment, it comes but once. Don't go bananas, but don't micromanage your festivities either. Sometimes you have to go off your diet and live your life. The next day, you go back on the diet. The whole point of doing all this is to improve your quality of life, but sometimes the best way to improve your quality of life is to create wonderful memories—even if they come with more calories than usual. :D
