Hey! I like to go out and have a good time on the weekends with my husband and friends. What are some suggestions for low calorie drinks?

Vodka and diet tonic0

clear spirits with diet mixers. Bacardi /vodka/gin with tonic or diet cola/lemonade is around 150 calories. Pint of cider has about 250. Steer clear from cocktails (my downfall) - full of sugar syrups, juices and lots of alcohol units.
Bacardi breezers do light options that are sugar free if you can get hold of those.0 -
I drink Vodka and Water with a lemon or lime.0
-
vodka w/soda is one of your best bets! it has no syrups, no dyes
steer clear of juices (unless you're adding a splash) and blended drinks.
much love,
your neighborhood bartender0 -
Rum and diets aren't so bad I don't think. Mikes Hard Lemonade Lite only has 98 calories/bottle. Skinnytaste.com has a recipe for a skinny margarita if you feel like having one at home. One time I went through a phase of just having vodka and water with lime and cherry. It wasn't so bad, but needed LOTS of cherries0

Vodka and diet tonic
Yes ++a wedge of lime to squeeze in. Very good stuff.
Pretty much any liquor mixed with a diet soda will be O.K.
I read somewhere that every gram of alcohol has 7 calories.0 -
Skinnybee Margarita or Chardonay0

I find that liqor (rum, whiskey, vodka, etc.) and diet soda work well, I think it's the fruity mixed drinks that take up a lot of calories.
Good luck and have fun!0 -
Just bought a premixed bottle of light margarita. It has all kinds of ingredients so I'm sure it's not healthy but I am craving margs like crazy so I'll try it. Vodka, selzer water & a fruit wedge (especially grapefruit) is what I usually drink.0

I don't drink often, haven't had a drink since my last birthday, but am going to a "girls night this weekend"
I love the Smirnoff Ice, but I'm sure its loaded.
I figured I would mix the vodka with fresca, or diet sparkling grapefruit with the same effect.
Depends on what type of drinks you enjoy.
Doesn't make sense to find a low cal alcohol drink you won't like. Then you might as well just drink water.0 -
Im a big fan of smirnoff ice but a regular smirnoff ice has 238 calories in it so I opt for smirnoff ice lite which has 100. If I dont drink that than I go for Motts Caesars spicy at 109 calories per bottle (and I like to think that the spice will give my metabolism a boost as apparently spices do that). Or if I really want to be good I'll have Captain Morgans spiced rum (Its sweeter than most rums and 65 cals per ounce shot) and a diet pop...really good with rootbeer or diet coke.0

if you like white wine it is only between 114 and 125 calories per 6 oz..... I wont give up my friday night wine so I make sure I have the calories for it every friday!!!!! Also I agree with everyone you need to stay away from fruity drinks and margarita's casue the mixer...I have heard straight tequilla is very low in calories if you like straight liquor0

Thanks ya'll! I deff like any kind of drink.... from beer to wine to shots to mixed drinks which is why I needed advice on what I should go with. I will deffinately need to save calories on the days we are planning for an "adventure"0

I'm surprised no one has mentioned wine. A 5oz glass of white wine is around abouts 100 calories. Not too shabby.
I've been contemplating lately bringing powder drink sticks out with me... mix a little sugar free cranberry or blueberry lemonade in with some vodka and tonic. Yummm!0 -

That actually sounds yummy! I'll try to think of that this weekend. I like wine. But I can't just have a glass... I have to drink the whole dang bottle0 -
