    Drinking while dieting is one of the hidden benefits. Fasted drinking will get you buzzed with a quickness. I had an 8 month period where I was going on an average of 3-4 dates a week which meant a ton of drinking. I just deducted the calories from the next day and it worked out fine.

    I drink whiskey, water & slice lemon or lime. plus a large water to sip on too. Liquor has about 100 calories per 1.5 oz so I try to not drink more than 4. I work out too on days I know I'll be drinking

    A skinny Margarita will only have calories from the tequila. Most bars can make that. You can also ask if they can anything else "skinny". Or diet Coke with rum. I actually like diet Coke with Hennessy

    Around here, a "skinny Margarita" is tequila, orange liquor (cointreau, grand marnier, or triplesec) and lime juice. It's fewer calories than sweet mix or that agave nectar sh*#, but the orange liquor adds ~95 kcal/oz. Fresh lime juice adds <10.

    You can actually buy the skinny mix in the store. It's the same Margarita mix but it says Lite. It's actually 0 calories. Doesn't taste quite as good as the regular one, but I add lemon juice and Truvia and that adds a stronger taste. Once at Chili's I ordered a skinny Margarita and it tasted really good.

    Hungry Girl has some good low cal cocktail recipes. Maybe you could ask a bartender to make one if they have the ingredients? I usually just get one glass of wine or if I want something more alcoholic, a couple ounces of whiskey. I've just learned to accept I can only have one or two drinks, then have to turn to plain club soda with a twist of lemon.

    I recently started this and boy is it bang for the buck! My hubs is upset though - he has to now share his $100 a bottle scotch with me :smiley:
