    My drink of choice is flavored vodka (citrus, mandrin, blueberry, rasberry etc) with soda water and some lemons or limes. You can also had a splash of cranberry or bring in your own crystal light packets.

    I'm drinking wine now, but flavored vodka/soda is my cocktail of choice. And I have a ton of friends that do the Crystal Light thing.

    Vodka / Soda - You can get those zero calorie flavored waters that are good with it too... That's my personal "low-cal" poison

    Generally clear liquors are your best bet:
    Vodka & Sprite Zero is no carb and low cal (Stoli orange is particularly yummy in Sprite Zero, or in Low Carb Red Bull)
    Spiced Rum & Diet Coke is my other favorite (though the spiced rum I believe has some carbs to it)

    Bud Select 55 is actually REALLY tasty for a light (super light) beer.

    And believe it or not, Guinness is one of the "best" beers in terms of your waistline (according to "Eat This, Not That.")
  • Given whenever I go out, I'm normally driving, I just drink ice tea (0 cals :D) but If I'm drinking, light beer will work.

    Oh man, you're totally a woman after my own heart <3 haha

    I attempt the method of not caring about how many calories are in the drink, and just go with moderation. I figure that if you only have a couple drinks in a week then it's all right.

    Doesn't matter too much with cals. Slows your metabolism by 73% which is what makes people fatter ... not the cals :)

    Just sayin! Even 1 drink

    cherry vodka & sugar free red bull = 65 cals

    vanilla voka & diet coke = 65 cals

    Vodka & club soda = 65 cals (add some lime)

    Those are my go-toos. I usually only have one and sip it. Also, try ordering a club soad with a lime wedge, looks like your drinking so people won't try to "force" more drinks on you.

    I get those tiny little red wine bottles you can buy; it's 130 calories for a little bottle. But you have to make yourself stop, which is easier said than done. All that being said, the best alcohol for weight loss is water in a dirty glass!

    I used go with diet coke, vodka and a slice of lime. HOWEVER, when drinking alcohol, you have to remember that even a little bit can immediately reduce your metabolism by 80%!! And it can make you crave sugary, salty, fatty foods. So now I just have a diet coke (the caffeine can even boost your metabolism a little bit). So in the end, is having one or two drinks for social purposes worth the risk of killing your metabolism and craving other foods? I say No.

    That is very true! I think in future i will try and just have a diet coke or something. At least until ive reached my goal weight :)
