Halloween Treats? (The adult kind)

So my concern for tonight is not candy, but as a 24 year old woman, I'll be at the bar for at least some of the time tonight. I do have a bit of leeway with my calories because I ate very light today, and I'm not intending on drinking until I black out, but 2 or 3 would be preferable to one very sad little drink.

Any low calorie beverages I should try? Any very high calorie ones I should one hundred percent avoid? Beer is already off the list, as I don't like it in the slightest, and I know it is higher in calories than some mixed drinks.

Any tips would be great!

    Pinot grigio, some sugar free apple cider and a splash of caramel vodka

    With the caramel this sounds like a great Halloween drink!

    When I'm trying to enjoy myself with friends but still stay under my goal I go with vodka soda, another option is rum and diet coke, most places won't have diet sprite but if they do diet sprite and vodka work too. with 1oz of each vodka or rum its only about 60-80 cals per drink. Avoid the really sugary drinks, they add calories real quick and even some of the (terrible) beers are low calorie, Miller 64 is one, then there are some other (equally terrible) beers that hover around 100 calories.

    This is where I thought the OP was going with this thread.

    Once in a while I have a "screw it" night where I eat and/or drink pretty much whatever I want. I look at it as long-haul approach. One high calorie day once in a while isn't going to hurt as long as you get right back in the groove the next day. I vote for drinking what you like. Just don't do it too often.

    When I would drink regularly I would add sparkling water to vodka.
