What to drink when out?

Magic_Chicken · January 2014

Hi, I'm off to the pub tonight and was just wondering what people drink while they're out? I usually go for orange juice or coke but they're both full of sugars. I'm also not a huge fan of the artificial sweeteners found in diet coke etc. At this rate it looks like ill be stuck with water, lol.

I tend to have one Mich Ultra then two waters, then another Ultra, then two waters. By then it's time to go home!

Pub? You looking for alcohol choices or non?

For booze I go with white wine or vodka. Not, it's Diet Coke, water, or nothing. :drinker:

I go out and drink beer.

Beer is delicious. I love craft IPA's and lagers.

but moderation is key. Ill order a half-pint and drink water in between. Now anyways I didn't used to and I was going out several times a week and having beer.

I go out less now and remember I can order just water with dinner.

Pretty much any hard liquor is 60-70 calories per ounce. So as long as you stick with neat, with water, club soda, diet soda's, your drinks will be about 110 calories each (for a 1.5 ounce pour). Wine is a little higher at 120-150 per 6 ounces. Beer is hard for me because I hate ultra light beers, but if you don't mind them, then they're nice and low too.

But to be honest, if you keep a regular deficit I don't think an occasional night out really matters. I just got back from an all-inclusive resort where I drank and ate like crazy for 4 days. I gained all of 0.9 lbs. And we're talking margaritas, frozen drinks, beer, and lots of food.
