hi guys. Trying not to drink wine but aspartame gives me panic attacks. What soft drink can I have at night that is low in calories without aspartame and pls don't say water.

    Unless you're suffering from Phenylketonuria, there's probably no reason to avoid aspartame.

    Tonic water with lemon slices. Sparkling water with lime and a few mint leaves. Take the non-alcoholic ingredients of any cocktail and they usually make a tasty drink together by themselves. Pick the lower-calorie ones.

    Have a glass of wine and fit it into your calories. A 5 ounce glass of white wine is only about 100ish calories. Just be sure to stop at one.

    I like club soda/sparkling water with a splash of cranberry juice or some lemon/lime juice.

    if Im out, soda with ice and a slice of lime and just a dash of lime juice - at home, Sainsburys do a nice fresh red grape pressed juice in the chilled aisle. Its a good red wine substitute, and topped up with fizzy water its v refreshing too.

    A ton of diet drinks are starting to use sucralose instead of aspartame because of fears (real or imagined). I know coke, hansen's and pepsi one all recently (as in the recent years) switched to sucralose. If you go to a whole foods style store, lots of times there are ones with stevia in them that you might like, though they are often three and four times the price for a drink you may or may not like as well.

    I'd google "sucralose diet drinks," and see if there is anything you like.

    I make sun tea infused with fruits, most often with peach and/or strawberries. After brewing just drop the sliced fruit right in the container and give it a few hours. I also will sometime make a 50/50 mix of decaf and regular tea as the caffeine can get me going sometimes.
    FYI, I was a soda fiend and have cut it out 100 percent! I drink mostly (in order of consumption) water, tea, milk, coffee and in the morning to afternoon an occasional energy drink. But I do love my sun tea and maybe you will too.
    FYI, there are all natural sodas out there.

    Let Loose With a Tea Infuser

    Loose tea is a low-calorie option that allows you to get tea's health benefits and flavor from the actual tea leaf, without any additives. Brewing loose tea in an infuser, a device that holds tea leaves in a mesh chamber that you submerge in water, works wonderfully to bring out the flavor of your tea of choice. Enjoying a hot cup of loose tea — such as white, green, oolong, or black — is a relaxing pleasure that's also great for your health.
