I 2nd the hard liquor suggestion. Most hard alcohol is right around 60 cals/ounce. A typical shot is 1.5 ounces so you are looking at around 90-100 cals/drink if you mix it with diet soda or Mio/Crystal Light & water. Pretty easy to fit in a least a couple drinks with that method.

No, the water doesn't really make it taste awful. That's what the Crystal Light or Mio is for. These have very few calories and you can pick whichever flavor you prefer. Lemonade flavor Crystal Light w/ Vodka is delicious, for example.0 -
I have a steeper calorie deficit Sunday-Thursday to account for partying on the weekend. Still losing consistently even though Fridays may include numerous adult beverages.0

I hear ya! Alcohol stops lipolysis. So anyone trying to cut fat is just kicking themselves by drinking. And if you follow it up with fatty food, you are putting yourself into the best possible position to gain fat.
That said, I feel the same. I'm much less social when I'm cutting. Not only because of the alcohol but because social situations generally include food.
However, I have my goals, and they're important to me.0 -
Well look at this way, you might be boring now, but you won't be hungover on the shame walk home after the night's before bender.0

weird i partied my *kitten* off in college, traveled, had the best time ever and maintained a 3.7 gpa. Almost done with my masters and will continue to my phd. No there are not two kinds of students. you can live an awesome life and be resonsible.0 -
Try not to drink often...Limit it to once a week or every couple weeks if you can.
Don't get so drunk that you make poor eating decisions.
I agree with everyone who said mix hard alcohol and soda or with a bit of mio. My fave drink when trying to watch my calories is flavoured vodka and soda.
If you're going to go party and you know you'll be drinking a lot, keep a decent deficit during the week so you don't blow it out of the water with drinking.
Enjoy your time at college!0
