    I usually stick with vodka and club soda (with a squeeze of lime)-- MFP says they are 100 calories per drink. Tonic adds a surprising amount of calories.

    I like diet coke with coconut rum - malibu is good.

    Skinnygirl Margarita!!! 100 calories per 4 oz.

    I usually go with a light beer (because I don't drink hard liquor) but really any hard liquor mixed with diet soda will be pretty close to the same calories.

    these sound worse than they really are-
    vodka and soda water or regular water (with a lemon or lime wedge)
    vodka on the rocks
    gin and soda water or regular water (lime/lemon)
    gin on the rocks
    vodka and diet sprite (or any diet pop)

    should be less than or at most 100 calories for all of them.

    sometimes i'll "splurge" and get cranberry juice and vodka

    also- there's a drink called skinny girl margarita and skinny girl sangria that have like 37. something calories per ounce. I'm assuming you can get it at a bar?

    Water is a good choice. Why don't you have one or two glasses of ice water between alcoholic beverages. Zero calories and keeps you from getting dehydrated. :)

    These people are right on target! Clear booze with a calorie-free mixer. If you want something other than Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, bring it with you! I used to bring Diet Sprite with me and ask the bartender to mix it with vodka for me. Perrrfect and refreshing!
