Alcohol!!!!

I stick to vodka & soda or wine. Tequila gives me crazy dreams...not to mention if you start doing shots that's a slippery slope. Citron and Soda is my favorite, but pick a "flavor" that you like and go from there. Pear and Blueberry vodkas are good, but kind of sweet.

A lot of my friends order vodka and water and put a packet of Crystal Light in it.

i think you're safe with a light beer like michelob ultra or miller light (100 calories per drink and it'll take you a lil while to drink it). or have a glass or a few of wine (although this is more expensive) or something like rum and diet coke, or vodka and diet. when i go out i drink beer, i hate liquor (BLECH)

The standard 1.5 ounce serving of 80-proof alcohol has 96 calories even before you add any mixers. A 6-ounce serving of orange juice has 84 calories, but add a shot of alcohol to make it a screwdriver, and the calories more than double.

Calories aren't the only reason to take it easy on alcohol. Not only do cocktails boost calories, they also have a powerful impact on your inhibitions.

"Your resolve can be really strong when you are sober, but after a few drinks, you may find yourself mindlessly overeating the nuts, another slice of pizza, or whatever food is within striking distance. Whether you're drinking a beer or a cosmo, the higher the alcohol content, the higher the calories. * 80-proof vodka (40% alcohol; the most common type) has 64 calories per 1oz
* 86-proof vodka (43% alcohol) has 70 calories/1 oz
* 90-proof vodka (45% alcohol) has 73 calories/1 oz
* 100-proof vodka (50% alcohol) has 82 calories/1 oz

Choose wine, light beer, or simple cocktails made with low-calorie mixers. Just as you might order your salad with dressing on the side, don't be shy about asking for your cocktail your way.

"You can save 100 calories if you have a diet soda as your mixer. Hope this helps and happy Bday!

try an Americana

If I learned anything in college it is this:

You can drink a LOT and still be ok the next day if you follow this routine:

1. Eat something really fiber-y for supper, like a good low-cal cereal.
2. Drink, go crazy, have fun, be safe
3. get ready for bed
4. Force yourself to drink at least two giant glasses of water, you won't want to at the time, but it'll help a lot.
5. Set an alarm for about an hour before you have to be up and going, when the alarm goes off, pop a couple of asprin, go back to bed.
6. Have a nice cold Gatorade or similar drink ready when you get up.



And if you want a splurge, go for a Dirty Girl Scout, tastes just like a thin mint
