Alcohol

You can get light beers or non alcoholic ones or try having half pints or making it into a shandy but with diet lemonade.
Other than that gin and vodka with a low calorie drink as a mixer is lowest calorie or I have wine but with diet lemonade so it's a spritzer

Its difficult really. Cause even the lowest calorie alcohol (vodka, gin, etc, that tamara mentioned) are super high in calories. A bottle of vodka is i think over 1500 calories, which just sucks. I guess most people wouldn't drink that much in a normal night out, but still 4-6 shots (or drinks mixed in with no calorie sodas), is still 400-600 calories almost.

330ml bottle of budweiser = 140ish calories I think
330ml bottle of bud light = 110ish.

So if you were to go out every friday night for example, I guess you could just cut 500-600 calories off food for that day, and still mostly stay in limit by the end, even after a decent night out with 4-5 bottles of beer.
Although just to maintain as close to optimal health, you best make your food on the thursday / friday / saturday, as healthy and wholesome as you can.
If you plan on getting out of your mind black out drunk, then it'd probably cost you an entire day of calories. And if you plan on drinking more than once / week, and more than just a few bottles. Maybe you should change your priorities from losing weight, to changing your social lifestyle first, since your health would deteriorate pretty quickly while cutting much calories and drinking that often. Or you'd just negate your weekly calorie deficit with the regular drinking

Alcohol lowers your inhibitions too--those nachos that you might say no to when you are sober may suddenly seem like a good idea after a few drinks.

Also, don't cut calories too much during through day in the name of saving for drinking. Going into the night hungry and replacing food with alcohol is a not a good idea.

My problem is I don't like just a few, if I am going to drink I want to drink. I tried limiting myself to just a couple nights but the food I eat after I drink wipes out the work I did all week. I have pretty much given it up for now. I may have a night every couple weeks I drink not sure. I stopped before and it was 10 years before I drank again and I still went out weekends just drank grapefruit juice.

Ughhhh same here. I try to plan ahead and log before I leave the house and that's what I have to stick too.

I also plan accordingly throughout the day to make sure I have the extra calories. If it's a spur of the moment thing I will hit the treadmill before I go out for the evening to earn my drinks.

I drink budlight 110 calories per bottle or shots of fireball for 100 calories per 1.5 oz. I'll sometimes get one two ways not because my pocket is cheap but my calories are

Anddddd if you do go over you can make up for it the rest of the week, 100 calories here and there. One morning I actually went back through my log for the week to make sure I was still under from that perspective.

Make sure you drink plenty of water and I wouldn't weigh myself for a few days after as the scale will go up but its not actual fat gain.

I've had better results since giving up alcohol 10 weeks ago. My training has improved and also less likely to lose control of my diet by eating crappy foods. Setting aside just the reduction for the alcohol alone. The advice I got was don't drink your calories and serving me well. Is hard sometimes though at parties etc

Alcohol is pretty much just liquid calories. If you are going to be drinking, go for low percentage stuff (if you're drinking to be social), or if you want to get a bit tipsy, go for normal percent shots or mixed drinks with well chosen mixers- vodka lime and soda with real lime (not cordial) is my fave. It also gives you some good hydration. Make sure you eat enough before and during drinking too- you really do need a good bit of food in your stomach to not get ill. I like to carb up plenty before I drink! Try some nice roasted potatoes and bring some snacks that are healthy and filling.

I drink once or twice a week. I just plan in advance and cut like 100 cals on other days so it evens out over the week. I NEVER drink light beer (it's gross and I do not get buzzed), just look for good beers that aren't that bad in cals. Do a quick search on here of various beers and you can start getting an idea of what's high cal, what's not.

If drinking at home, mixed drinks are a good option because you can control how much goes in there.
