Remember that mixed drinks have 2oz of liquor at least, not 1.
The lowest calorie thing I can think of-vodka soda.0 -
I like bloody marys.0

whiskey and water0

Unless you plan on drinking every night, go out and drink whatever you like and have fun. One night of indulgence does not undo everything. Get back to your plan tomorrow.0

I like what Alluminati said. Just have fun.

I go for light beers. A 12 oz. Coors Light has about 100 calories. It is larger and take longer to drink, so even two or three won't break the (calorie) bank.0

Tequila shots. 70 calories a shot and no filler.0

Wodka0

white alcohols generally lower in cals. If you aren't into gin or vodka then a light beer can be decent. But really....on the rare occasion...just indulge.0

Virgin Mary, no booze. Diet soda no one knows what's in your drink. Plus if you drive no DWI.0

This.
I had a 'once in a blue moon' night out a few months ago - and I was SERIOUSLY strict. I was literally logging my drinks as and when they were bought, calculating calories etcetc. The people I was with were looking at me as if I had grown another head - and with good reason. This is NOT normal behaviour. Needless to say, I didn't really enjoy myself.
Enjoy a few drinks with your friends, you're human. Tomorrow is another day0 -
Trying to have a night out and be healthy is the worst of all worlds.
Plan it, reduce your calories that week a bit to help reduce the impact, and just enjoy yourself. One of the best tips is if you are drinking, do not eat at the same time, but I see it the same as going out for a good dinner once a month. Sod making it tiny or strict, log it as a cheat or re-feed, feel no guilt and go right back to the good eating you had before.0 -
I make Margaritas with one shot of tequila (1.5 oz) and 5 calorie mixer. 12 oz glass is around 110 cals...0

I'm confused. Isn't that pretty much on par with beer? Might be a bit more calories for the alcohol content but not much.0 -
Life's too short to drink crappy beer.0

White wine spritzer - about 75 calories!0
