    I love some craft beer (never really been a wine drinker), so I'd love some recommendations on some low(er) calorie beers. Can't make myself drink Mich Ultra.

    It's not even the calories from the alcohol that cause me to go over; it's my not being able to tell myself no when it comes to wanting to eat, which is always. Then I wake up in the morning 4,000 calories over my daily limit. :(

    That's my issue as well.

    I am great about ordering a salad at 300-400 calories. It is the margaritas that they sit in front of me the moment I sit down at my favorite Mexican restaurant. Then they hand me a second when my glass is empty

    I've become "the shot guy" because of this...

    Can't do it. I drink because I like the taste. I do not drink for a buzz. So by golly I want to drink what tastes good. I am not into pounding down cough syrup.

    I have tried this - 88 calories a drink:

    I really enjoyed the hibiscus cucumber with a few slices of cucumber in the drink. Best part is eating the cucumber after it has soaked up some of the alcohol!

    I usually aim for beers with a lower abv, anything around 5% and under. I was drinking a lot of session IPA, Gose and Berliner Weisse during the spring/summer last year. I don't avoid higher alcohol beers, but I do drink fewer of them than I used to.

    Yeah I've been horrible lately. Really horrible. Less about the drinking and more about the eating afterward.
