    Vodka Soda with Lemon. I believe that is 80 or 90 cals. go to Calorieking.com to see what others may be!

    Stick with vodka and water (really note that bad once you acquire the taste for it) and red wine :)
    You get hydrated (water), the healthiest hard alcohol (vodka) and antioxidants (red wine!)
    I only drink red wine, vodka, and corona or another gluten free beer.

    Any hard alchol with a diet soda isnt too bad for you. Maybe about 120 calories?

    I do diet coke with vanilla rum... stoli or three olives.

    Alot of people do vodka and tonic but thats not for me.

    My usual drink is vodka and cranberry but the cranberry juice has sooooo many calories, it's just not worth it. So my new thing is ask the waitress for a glass of water and a shot of vodka. Bring your own to-go packets of crystal light (I like the cranberry pomegranite) and mix the three together. It's only 90 calories for the vodka and crystal light and the shots are cheaper than a mixed drink. bonus!

    I drink Cherry Vodka/Diet Cokes.

    If the bar doesn't have Cherry I just go for plain Vodka/Diet!

    Ooo- my new thing is Bacardi Torched Cherry with Coke Zero- about 120 calories (my shots are generous) but tastes like cherry coke!

    Vanilla vodka & diet coke = 69 calories
    Vanilla vodka & diet rootbeer (tastes like a rootbeer float) = 69 calories
    Cherry vodka & sugar free red bull = 89 calories

    Cherry vodka & sugar free red bull are my FAVORITE! I think some places call it a cherry bomb? GAH! now I want one! :)

    Lemonade has a lot of sugar, how about vodka on crushed ice with a lemon wedge?

    Everyone thinks vodka is gluten free right off hand for some reason, but it is not; the gluten free one is gin. Gin is not fermented, whereas vodka, as well as whiskey, are fermented. The color doesn't mean anything. Likewise with the color of beer, just to mention, darker beer does not have more calories than pale colored beer; the color has to do with how much the grains were roasted.

    Yes clear liquids are better because they are lower in sugar~

    Yep, vodka and water with a splash of bar lime is called a skinny b!tch...they're 70 calories a shot...and the water helps with the hangover the next day :sick:

    Stoli and Three Olives are both vodka, not rum.

    Tequila averages about 65 calories.
    Gin, Rum, Whiskey and Vodka average about 64 to 70 calories.
    All of these are per ounce.

    Probably drink it with a diet drink or something low calorie mixed or as a chaser.

    Women should NEVER drink tequila! Studies have been done on the effects of tequila on mens brain's verses women's brains. Tequila does different things to our brain, and acts as a drug, which is why there's a song "Tequila makes her clothes come off" lol
