ALCOHOL! ALCOHOL!

Being a vodka girl as well, I usually order vodka with diet coke

Gin, rum, vodka, whisky , tequila, brandy and cognac - aparently all have around 55-70 cals (single shot)

I like Gin or vodka and slimline - 56 cals (single), Sailor Jerry & Diet Coke (67 cals) (tastes a little like Drumstick Lolly)

Wine - around 140 cals (175ml)

Hope this gives you some sort or choice. I feel your pain lol :drinker:

If I'm somewhere where I can make my own drinks I like to make fruit drinks with rum (dark or light, whatever you prefer). I usually add frozen strawberries or raspberries and some peppermint leaves + some soda, delicious!

This is my weak areas..I will sometimes drink 7-10 lite beers with each being about 100 calories. All my friends drink beer.

Maybe I should try to switch a vodka & diet coke drink.

If you drink beer, a Guinness is actually basically your lowest calorie option. It's around 168 cals for a pint (and if you're drinking it from a bottle I don't know what to say to you). It isn't low calorie, but it isn't high sugar, so it doesn't usually hurt my macros very much.

I'm a beer girl. I just try to make room in my calories and drink tons of water before and after, hit the gym the next day, and hope for the best lol

Hooray for stout!!!!

I drink Junior Johnson's Cherry Moonshine. Straight shots with a water chaser.

If I'm going to drink I'm not going low cal. I don't like beer, so I prefer mixed drinks, and I like my Sex On the Beach and my daquiris. I fit them into my calorie allotment.

This is the gospel truth, right here. If you don't get anything too dark (bourbon, instead of a whiskey like Jim Beam; dark and/or spiced rum, instead of clear), it should all be about the same low calories.

Warning is, might want to check to see how big their shots are. If you look at a typical shot glass, a totally full one is 1.5 ounces (adding 50% more calories to the calculations above). One ounce is about 2/3 of the shotglass, which looks pretty full (but these glasses are fluted). So check how much the bartender is pouring. They often don't check or pour exactly one ounce, so I'd be on the safe side and assume 1.5 oz. (closer to 100 calories, I believe).

IMO, it's better to not drink (and that's a hard thing for this guy to say). I've learned to drink only twice a week (Friday and Saturday) and, even then, to do so in moderation. It's easier for a thirty-something (or at least this thirty-something). Until basically a year ago, I loved getting blasted, doing it often, and still drinking steadily on nights when I would "take it easy." Alcohol is the absolute devil when you're trying to lose weight.

I've also been told it inhibits your ability to process fat, until all of the stuff is out of your system (another reason to drink less at a time, not binge drink).
