I guess I'm not too adventurous with my drinks because I always order/make the same thing. Either vodka tonic or a shot of vodka with crystal light. I love a good wine or craft beer (Cake Walk by Right Brain is magic in a bottle, btw) but lately I've been trying to keep my drink calories down.

Any suggestions??

    Not very creative but I enjoy some of the skinny girl drinks. I add a lot of ice.

    Pure blond beer - 92 cals/330ml
    And I usually alternate with a no-cal (no-alc!) sparkling water. In a tall glass with ice, lemon and a straw it's a nice option to have when I'm out at the pub and the mister is having another beer.

    Vodka and soda, the only calories are from the vodka. Actually what I drink generally.

    im rubbish at this, I start with good intention and log the calories of a bottle of wine and maybe a few strawberry pimms and diet lemonade......all good.

    UNTIL the night gets going and iv drank the wine and then think mmmm a nice cold larger would be lovely, oh yer a few vodkas and diet coke wont hurt, oh oh oh tia maria.......ooooooooomore wine

    and before I know iv had a weeks worth of calories and Im eating cold chicken and bread :/

    Diet 7up & Gin. I don't drink diet soda ever so on a weekend night I drink this combo. No good.

    My summertime drink is to take some diet sprite, add a shot of coconut infused vodka, muddle some fresh basil, mash up a little pineapple and a splash of pineapple juice, ice, stir and enjoy. Super refreshing.

    I normally enjoy Jameson and soda water with a lime or lemon. However, lately I have been drinking vodka (Tito's) and Fresca.

    Precisely this. I tend to prefer either Glenlivet, or Jameson. Something about that island just makes for good whiskey.

    I kinda follow you: a short or two of real alcohol (vodka, flavored vodka, spiced rum) with a 0-calorie mixer of some sort (sparkling water; diet soda; crystal light, water with lemon).
