    I like vodka with club soda and lime or light beer.

    Vodka and diet coke sounds awful to me...For lighter in calories, I like:

    Whiskey and soda water with lime (wonderful, like whiskey-ade, especially with a bourbon)
    or
    Vodka and soda water with lime
    or
    Whiskey and diet lemonade and soda water
    or
    Vodka and diet lemonade and soda water, with some bitters.

    or perhaps
    Rum or bourbon in diet root beer or club soda, if wanting something sweeter.

    Someone on here said it puts my sugar levels all crazy, so I was looking for an alternative, but yes vodka it is, thanks

    If you like diet coke and vodka, then why stop drinking it?
    I'm not much for hard alcohol myself...I'm a glass of wine kind of girl. :)

    What's diet vodka? Just lower alcohol?

    Personally, I don't like the taste of alcohol so the only cocktails I like are full of fruit and/or sugar. Which means I can only have one, and I can't have it very often.

    I like Smirnoff red label vodka or Early Times or Jim Beam. I mix with diet sundrop.

    Wine is the only think that I would suggest (add seltzer to make it last longer) because I don't like the taste of Vodka, Gin, Rum, Tequila or any kind of cocktails or mixed drinks. Although I wouldn't mind a glass of a good whiskey on the rocks, but my stomach can't handle alcohol anymore :'(

    I rarely drink, but I love gin and (diet) tonic with a ton of lime.

    Mmm... Mojito is my current favourite. I only have 2-3 per year, but they sure are yummy!

    Personally I prefer spending my weekend exercising. That's my release after a week at work.

    Nothing wrong with a drink or two on the weekend.

    My fav is vodka with diet ginger ale and a twist of lime.
