    So there's not way I could give up alcohol completely! I usually drink wine or lager but they're both high in calories. What do you drink on a night out?

    Beer.
    Wine.
    Whisky.
    Sometimes all three in the same night, but never in the same drink.

    sounds about right. Sometimes, I go for some bourbon. But its usually real ale. Something hoppy and craft.

    Whiskey with water + a splash of ginger ale!

    When out I tend to go with whatever the guest hand pulled ales are. Joys of being in Yorkshire. At home, I'm a single malt collector, but tend to reserve that for tasting nights. I'll usually have some wine of an evening in.

    Canada is getting there with the craft beer. But its one of my biggest complaints since leaving England, and one of the only reasons that my husband wants to move back. Most places here don't support the local breweries :(

    usually Korean plum wine (2 small glasses), vodka or Jaegermeister shots...or a couple of Redd's Apple Ales

    I recently tried some beer called Trippel made with coriander and it was good, but for me Redd's are better with less cals.

    I've found a new mix for vodka - sparking ice water - it's carbonated - NO CALS, ETC... comes in 17oz bottles so you're good for 2 drinks with just one bottle... I get it at Costco... comes in 3 different flavours and is wonderful!!

    Also - I'm a wine drinker - try to stay more to the white wine though - unless the red is 'sweet'... strawberry zinfandel is my fav but pretty sure it's high cal... found a great white wine spritzer though for when I 'run out' of my sparking ice lol

    Well, I'm pregnant now so I don't drink at all, but with 2 young kids already, when I've had a rare night out I've drank whatever I fancied!

    I like prosecco or cava. I had a girly night out last year and had prosecco, then I think we had some shots. Then for our wedding anniversary hubby and I got a bottle of Bacardi and some coke (MIL had the kids). The next week I realised I was pregnant, so I haven't had anything since. 8 weeks to go...looking forward to a glass of prosecco :drinker:

    A shot of Cointreau in a tall glass, add the juice of half a lime and a packet of Truvia (I don't tolerate artificial sweeteners very well) and fill with club soda and ice. I've heard it called a "Party Starter". Has about 145 calories (1.5 oz shot).

    Or, the Margaritaville brand of margarita that comes in a big jug (not the best, but if you squeeze in some fresh lime it adds some zing). Blend it with ice to make it seem like more, lol. It's sweetened with agave, and only has 95 calories in a serving (4 oz.)

    Literally just found out that Barcardi is quite low cal. Am on my 3rd one tonight and it's quite tasty with diet coke :)

    Bourbon, neat or with 1-2 rocks.

    Beer, depending on my mood.

    Wine, when the setting is right.

    Hell, I like it all.

    I actually work out so I can drink (wine, champagne, mojito's) - that's how I "eat back" my calories...:blushing:

    Me too, when I know a good night out is on the cards I'll hit the gym! Good planning IMO :)

    If I am planning on hitting the town and drinking I typically schedule a long run the day or morning of. I burn the hell out of some calories and Typically dont eat when I drink so I end up just fine. So I drink mostly beer or Jack and Coke.

    Alcohol, what's been keeping me from reach my goal!! I make my own Riesling wine so I am well stocked with that. When I am out it is usually Jamison on the rocks or Orange Vodka. I will be the first to admit I enjoy my alcohol and my social life!!
