Hey guys!

I have about 1580 calories left, and I'm going to spend them on adult beverages!

I usually drink craft beers at 300 calories a pop!

I don't know **** about real booze, but everyone tells me to drink it instead for calorie restriction.

From this list, I'm looking for something fairly inexpensive ($20? or less?) that won't give me the worst hangover ever.

Thanks!

And happy Friday!

:drinker:

    Jameson sounds pretty good, guarantee no hangover.

    Wow! I have enough calories left to take 21 shots!

    Light coloured spirits will cause less of a hangover. I'm a vodka drinker myself, and at 60-70 calories for a 1 oz shot, I can feel pretty good off 8 oz, mixed or chased with diet 7up or sprite...or even better red bull sugar free!...or white rum and diet pepsi, whatever you prefer. I'm not sure where you live, but here in BC Canada, a 26 of Smirnoff is around $24

    Jameson with soda water and a tiny splash of bitters is the way to go.

    Oh yeah!

    I forgot to mention I bought some Diet Root Beer and Diet Cherry Pepsi.

    I mostly stick to vodka or tequila. Although I prefer expensive tequilas that are more than $20.

    For vodka I would recommend Smirnoff. Pretty good for cheap vodka. I usually mix vodka with diet pop so it is about 70-100 calories per shot. Absolut, Ketel One, Grey Goose, Three Olives, Ciroc are all good as well. Svedka is ok. I am not a fan of Skky. UV is pretty bad.

    I usually drink bourbon, but it's never that cheap for the kinds I buy. :/ Unless you buy a 750mL instead of 1.75L.

    Anyway, try Maker's Mark or Bulleit if you want a yummy bourbon. I never mix, just drink it on the rocks.

    AsaThorswoman -- Now, I know why we've gotten along from the beginning. Jameson on the rocks with a ginger back is my go-to choice (especially when I can get diet ginger ale). If I'm drinking it neat, give me a wide berth as I'm looking for a fight. :)

    I like Jose Cuervo light margarita. It's premixed, cheap, and tasty. I love me some tequila!
