For me it's red wine however I feel like it's been giving me some gnarly hangovers. And I'm not drinking a lot...2 glasses. Just tried Skinny Girl Spicy Lime Margarita. Love it. Also trying to like Vodka and Soda.

    Vodka and soda with limes is my favorite. I have a glass every night :)

    I like white wine. A friend said that one glass of pino Grigio is the best choice when trying to lose. Any thoughts?

    Vodka and soda water, red wine and sparkling whites tend to be what I gravitate towards. I find lighter reds are less hangover producing for me so I tend to stick to Pinot noirs.

    I loooooooooooove wine. Vodka/club soda, flavored vodkas/diet sodas, straight rum, and straight tequila are my other drinks of choice.

    The quality of your wine can really impact if you get a hangover. The bottom-shelf mass-produced stuff (Barefoot, Yellow Tail, CK Mondavi, etc.) uses a lot of additives to ensure they get a consistent product, and a lot of people have bad reactions to them. I'll get a wicked hangover from one glass of Barefoot, but I can drink a bottle of more expensive small-batch wine and feel fine the next day. Drink water with your wine, too - if your alcoholic beverage is more than 10%, it will be dehydrating. Most beers and mixed drinks are less than 10% ABV - think about how much soda you add to your vodka - but wine and straight liquor are more than that.

    Pinot grigio is one of the lower-alcohol whites (starting around 12%), so it's less caloric than other wines. It's a good choice is wine is your preferred alcohol, but still not as low-cal as a vodka soda.

    We keep Russian Standard stocked at home. I like Ketel One and Monopolowa too.
