    Rum is practically liquid sugar, so I wouldn't imagine that the calorie count would be very low. I don't really know how to find out that kind of stuff other than googling it. Google knows all. :drinker:

    my favorite is:

    5 shots vodka added into a sparling flavored water drink (just pour some of the water out first) and then add a crystal light or 2.

    tastes sooo good and gets the job done :smile:

    or just shots of alcohol with diet drinks. its still about 60ish calories per ounce though :(

    It's all in the database, you record it what you drink, just like you record your food.....all calories consumed. What is your question? You can look it all up.

    I did some research on this a few weeks ago! It depends... if you are hanging out with friends watching a game, and everyone is sipping on beers, and that is your kind of beverage.... that Bud Select 55 has only 55 calories, but doesn't taste very good in my opinion and has a REALLY low alcohol content! I'd rather have 2 REALLY good/strong/tasty beers than 5 crappy ones to have the same effect and about the same calories!

    But, all in all, alcohol isn't healthy obviously, and in my personal opinion when I am drinking and want to end up with a buzz or more, straight vodka does the job, or mix with a sugar free/diet mixer (like diet sprite or sugar free red bull... or a delicious bloody mary!)

    the lowest calorie alcohol consumption i know of is vodka, soda water and fresh lime (optional) I have a friend who is a diabetic and only drinks this when we go out because it also contains no sugar.
    Most low carb, low calorie etc alcoholic drinks are usually alright..its what you eat after or during that has a massive effect. Usually when you drink you may find yourself in McDonalds at all hours of the morning or the morning after when you drown yourself in the oily-est bacon and eggs to cure your hangover. not only do you crave these foods under the influence but your body is also so dehydrated from the alcohol it absorbs everything those fatty foods have to offer..and also wants to use the oil to reline your stomach.

    Some alcohol is already in the data base.

    I like vodka. 64 calories for 2 ounces.

    My contribution to this conversation is my ole standby: 1 small rocks glass with ice/1 jigger (1.5fl oz) of Vodka/ 1 or so tbls of your favorite sugar free syrup, mine is the Watermelon..(torani or davinci has MANY flavors, even crazy ones like marshmellow, almost any flavor you can think of)..I have one or two on a weekday evening and its about 60 cals each ..they are TASTY and refreshing!!!

    If you enjoy a drink, don't worry about it. Just don't go overboard (ie, get smashed) and expect it to not have negative effects.
    Read this: http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html

    If you want to drink, go ahead. Just don't drunkenly stuff yourself at a chinese buffet, pizza house or go to IHOP for some delicious drunk, never ending pancake stacks.
