Hi! I am trying to find some low calorie alternatives to alcoholic drinks. I do not mind the alcohol but because calories often come with the alcohol, I always try to limit what I drink. Do you have drinks that are easy, cheap, and "go-to's" because they are low in calories?

Thanks for the help!

    My preferred drink is a vodka press. I go well (because I'm not picky with my vodka). It's just vodka with half club soda, half sprite. The sprite adds just a bit of sweetness, while not adding much in terms of calories/sugar. Red wine is another good one, as long as you don't go overboard.

    Distilled liquor with a low/no calorie mixer. If you don't like diet drinks you could try mixing with water or club soda with a twist of lemon or lime.

    Never heard of this! I have always had vodka and tonics....I will try this!

    I do vodka, club soda with a lime. No calories except the alcohol. It doesn't taste great but it does the job and I don't tend to have a ton of them! :)

    Just like the above, vodka (or any spirit for that matter) is carb free and some of the lowest caloric drinks you'll find. I always do vodka+crystal light, vodka+diet crush (orange/grape), vodka+mio, vodka+water, etc.

    Another option is Rum, another carb free spirit. Rum+ any diet cola is good. Rum+diet coke/pepsi, Rum+diet dr. pepper, Rum+diet root beer.

    Not low calorie, but I go out and drink beer. I love beer and I am not a fan of hard liquor. Occasionally will have gin and tonic.
    I just now limit what I drink, and only have beer when I have 'earned it' not whenever I want one.
