    Gin and slimline tonic - 56 cals. Or a dry white wine or prosecco, cava etc. I like a beer but the calories are too high unless I've saved enough calories or worked out to earn them. which is why I work out a lot :D

    I absolutely love vodka water with a lemon. They are super refreshing and I never get hangovers because of all of the water I'm drinking. I'm a fast drinker so I usually get a single tall which helps with the calories too. I also like to get flavored vodka like citron (when I'm home) but I'm cheap when I go out so I usually just get rail.

    I like red wine, vodka with lacroix, tequila with soda water and lime, or champagne. I rarely have more than 2 drinks though.

    I also love Deep Eddy's Cranberry so try this:
    1 shot vodka
    1 shot good cranberry juice
    Fill with Club Soda
    serve with a lemon wedge

    Have you tried hard ciders? I am not much of a drinker - red wine primarily - but the summertime simply screams for hard cider when everyone else is drinking icy beers.
    (edited to add that they run about 125 cals for 12 0unces)

    Someone may have already said this, but try throwing an orange slice or lime into your mich ultra. It adds a little something without too much sugar or extra calories.

    Hard ciders are my go-to summer drink too :)

    I've been drinking flavored vodkas with club soda....not tonic water because it has calories and club soda does not. I usually get raspberry, citrus or blueberry. Sometimes make it a double. Even a double has only 140 calories and no carbs! I've had no problem losing weight while still drinking

    Rum and Diet Coke/Diet Ginger Ale was my favorite. Also Miller Light.
    ...but I don't drink anymore.

    I don't get the point of the light beers, you don't catch any buzz at all. I have one or two nice IPAs and I feel like it's a good calorie spend. I also like vodka soda with a squeeze of lime, or vodka and diet tonic, you can even put it in La Croix for some variety. Also bourbon.

    I like Guiness, it is dark and heavy but surprisingly low in calories. I also tend to drink it slower. Moscow Mules are also good but watch out for sugar calories in ginger beers.

    Go with diet soda (if you need any mixer, because most mixers, even Tonic, have a bunch of calories) and liquor. It is the most calorie efficient drink.

    Having vodka that is 90-proof, or 45 percent alcohol, supplies you with 110 calories per 1.5-ounce pour. But if your vodka is the 80-proof variety, or 40 percent alcohol, you'll get less than 100 calories in a 1.5-ounce shot.
