    I'd like to know that too. I know Applebee's has some skinny margaritas and mojitos that are under 100 calories, but not sure what all goes in them.

    I think one of the best ways to go is with lite beer. Michelob Ultra has 95 calories. And Miller Lite has only 96 calories.

    A glass of wine varies. 4 oz (I think? Or is is 8?) is your standard glass that is usually poured...white has more calories than red. They vary from around 100-200 calories a piece.

    Do a search on the database on what is best for hard liquor. It totally varies. Drink it with soda water or diet anything and that'll be the best bet for that.

    Why stay away from wine? Still 100 calories for a 4 oz glass, and lots of good things in it.

    Hello there, I'm not a drinker, so when I drink its usually one and I'm not that worried about it. My brother in law is a beer drinker and when he was doing atkins he switched to Micolob (sp?) ultra light because it was lower in carbs. Not sure what the calories are but I'm sure you can look it up on here!

    You can also drink a mojito...ask for no guarapo (the sugar cane juice or simple syrup) and add a packet of splenda. It still has that little bit of sweet and it's delish!

    Skinny Margaritas are my drink of choice right now. It's Tequila and Lime juice and Agave nectar (replaces the sugary mix) Forgo the salt on the rim so you won't retain fluid and you'll be under 100 calories. Most alcohol has a low glycemic index but is high in calories, especially when mixed with other things. Drinking also seems to accompany eating large amounts of carbohydrates! Good luck and have a fun weekend!

    Weight Watchers make a nice white wine believe it or not! I tried it out of curiosity, and it was yummy!

    Per my trainer, the best alcoholic beverage when dieting is.....NONE. Low cal beer is not good because it is full of carbs. Trainer says to me, if you MUST drink, make it clear liquor mixed with diet tonic. So I guess cherry vodka and diet tonic are in my future. My favorite is Southern Comfort and Diet, trainer says better than low cal beer and okay "in moderation". I said "live in my life for one day and then tell me moderation again". LOL
