    if your goal is to get drunk, go with some hard stuff and diet soda. Go with Jack. It'll work with less drinks, which will give you a better bang for your calorie buck.
    If your goal is to nurse a bunch of drinks while socializing, go with wine spritzers. Half wine, so you're technically still drinking, but minimizing the damage.
    Of course, once the drink starts flowing, all calorie counting goes out the window anyway, so perhaps just forget about it and have a good time :)

    I'm a whiskey and red wine drinker generally, but I believe both of those are some of your best-bang-for-your-buck drinks. I tend to stay away from mixers generally as it just generally means I'll drink more rather than sipping on whiskey or wine. But, if you're in for mixers, I'm a big fan of mojitos myself, though they go down pretty darn easy. Though most bar tenders will hate you, if they serve them at all.

    Just resurrecting this thread for all the late niters who want to read about drinking :)

    So yeah, I got drunk tonight. I had set aside 740 calories for alcohol. I ended up pretty close and drank 750 cals. I only went over my daily goal by a couple of cals which isn't bad at all.
