    We have completely eliminated soda has a mixer in favor of plane seltzer. That saves us quite a few soda calories every time we have a few drinks. And it tastes pretty good, especially with things like flavored vodka :-)

    Agreed. I just did the same. Cut out the soda as a mixer and switched from bourbon to vodka. Suppose I could still do seltzer and bourbon too though.

    I usually stick to the red wine, but it tends to blow my calories out of the water. Because I like it, and I like a lot if it! :wink:

    If I'm trying to stick to my calories (sometimes I just say "screw it"), I will go with vodka soda with lemon and lime. It's pretty good.

    I enjoyed whipped cream vodka and diet cherry Dr pepper on Saturday. 4 drinks was 264 calories and nearly fit my day (7 calories over). Fabulously tasty and at 66 calories an ounce the vodka was awesome.

    For parties I usually lean toward Captain and Diet Coke or flavored vodka with flavored sparkling water or lemon.

    I'm a sucker for wine and craft beer but my friends and I are in our early-mid 20s and have a lot of house parties so the captain and Diet Coke or vodka and water always win for those circumstances since large amounts are typically consumed.

    Wine for any occasion is my favorite, but I can drink a whole bottle, so it's not really low calorie at that point haha. I'll usually keep Sam Adams light or Yuengling light in the fridge.

    I also like vodka sodas. At home, I enjoy Belvedere with flavored sparkling water (my fav is pomegranate lime). If I'm out, blueberry vodka soda if available, or I'll just add a splash of cranberry if the flavored vodkas aren't available

    Champagne is my favorite - the healthiest thing about it is that it's so effing expensive you can't drink too much. ;)

    House parties I typically lean towards *kitten* beer as your right large quantities are consumed and it's easy to lose track and before you know it your 20 drinks deep ha

    Haha I can defiantly relate to the whole bottle thing. Keeping box wine in the house is dangerous lol

    Plus your stomach or at least mine doesn't do to well with more than a bottle of it.
