    I drink what I want but then get up and run the next morning. How far I run depends on how many calories I go over my limit. It's usually 10 miles

    If you were to allocate say 300 kcal for alcohol, you could have (approximately)
    - 2-2.5 beers (personally prefer darker beers)
    - 2-3 diet vodka sodas with lime (depends on #oz) or any other similar diet soda + liqueur drink
    - 4 shots of hard liqueur

    Depending on your threshold, it won't get you drunk (except the shots), but you can enjoy yourself.

    Vodka or gin - makes for a delightful martini!

    Tito's w/seltzer, lime, and a splash of cranberry is my go to drink of choice except for today. Today it will be margaritas - and I will enjoy every sip.

    I go for the "sustainable buzz".

    Hard Liquor shot + beer to nurse and sparkling water.

    My all time favorite combo for a night out is:
    • Jameson Irish Whiskey - 69 calories in a 1 shot
    • O'Hara's Irish Pale Ale - 260 calories 1 pint

    That way I am highly buzzed early and taper off nicely and end up pretty much legally sober before it's time to head out.

    Since zero calorie soda has ... zero calories.. why would mixing it with the shot of vodka reduce the number of shots of vodka that fit within 300 calories?

    I like vodka and club soda, but I do better overall with weight loss when I do not drink alcohol at all. I don't eat more (fact) when I am drinking, but the extra calories add up quickly and it's kind of like having a few spoonfuls of sugar from a nutritional standpoint... You can eat sensibly all day, exercise and then have three cocktails and suddenly, you've just reconsumed your deficit for the day!

    Titos handmade vodka has half the calories of regular vodka. Mix that with seltzer water (0 cal) and mio (or another 0 cal water flavorer) and bam! Tastes good too becauze you can add as much mio as you like.

    It depends on the number of vodka oz's. There is a difference in calories between 1.5 oz and 3. At 1.5 oz you're looking at around 100 kcal for the drink and at 3 oz you're looking at 200ish. How it's made affects how many drinks you can have.

    White rum and diet coke/pepsi....in my research it's the lowest calorie drink and lowest sugar drink I could find that I liked.

    But of course none is the correct answer :wink:

    If you must have beer, go with Guinness...only 125 calories and MUCH better than any of those horrendous light beers.

    Ok, so i wont be a party pooper and tell you not to drink at all B) i usually do a flavored rum or vodka and a diet soda. Considering I don't drink that often anymore sometime I will splurge and just have a regular drink.

    I don't drink and frankly, I think all people would be better off leaving the stuff alone, but based on some of the recent posts, it seems like apple cider is the current drink of choice.

    apple cider has alot of carbs. Which sucks, because it is so good.

    But unless you're ordering a double vs. a shot, the 1.5 oz pour is the same number of calories whether it's in a shot glass, neat, or with ice and club soda...
