    Honestly, I've been struggling to lose weight for awhile now (at the end of my journey, it's tough)
    I went out last night and ended up drinking 4 Bud Light Lime's. I wokeup this morning 2lbs lighter, hahaha.

    I usually drink light beers or vodka & tonic.

    Bacardi & DIet is a good one. Better to add a fresh lemon than order the Bacardi Limon though, I've been told has more calories. Make sure you have food in your stomach though, otherwise with no sugar that Bacardi goes straight to your bloodstream!

    bacardi and diet coke/lemonade
    vodka and cranberry juice
    gin and slimline tonic
    all the clear spirits+ low cal mixer are way way lower then a glass of wine or beer

    if I drink I just do shots, but I am normally doing this at home while watching something I pirated off the internet(i am an under-aged loner). So yeah, shots aren't classy but they are low cal!

    When I was still in my bar days I would do flavored vodka with water, and depending on the flavor have them throw in a lemon slice, lime slice, or orange slice :) Im pretty sure that vodka has little or no calories and then water obvisouly has none :)

    I still stick to dry white wine, but I add sparkling water (half each), that way I still get my wine, but it lasts longer :bigsmile:

    I try to plan for a night out in advance. I go under my calorie goal Mon-Fri so I can relax Sat-Sun and have my favourite WINE x

    (Ps This may not be the healthiest advice!!)

    Personally I drink Jager and sip on a sugar free Red Bull, A shot is 70 calories and nothing in the Red Bull. Whatever you decide to drink Google it and see the Nutrition Facts on it! Then decide!!!

    Treat yourself to one really fantastic cocktail (I love a sidecar or manhattan) and drink it slowly with sips of water between drinks of the good stuff! Just stop there.

    Or, vodka w/ club soda and a twist of lime (as long as it's not flavored vodka) is I think the lowest cal drink you can get. Besides the super light beers.

    Vodka and soda water...lemon and lime slices.

    ORRRR Light beer. They say that light beer fills your stomach up more than 4oz of wine, so you don't drink AS much.

    I usually drink light beer because it's cheaper, but I am taking a hiatus from drinking this month because it stunts my weight loss efforts.

    Even if I am under my calories after a night out drinking, I still can't lose any weight until like 3-4 days afterwards. VERY frustrating!

    Maya--I agree! Get ONE of whatever you wanted. Drink it slowly. If you wanna stay within your cals and the night out is NOT about getting plastered. Then enjoy that one drink and lots of glasses of water. If your friends love you they'll understand, AND it'll be way cheaper. :)

    Does anyone know if there is a calorie/hangover difference between light and dark spirits? For example, I like to drink rum and coke zero, but was thinking about switching to vodka and diet soda...?

    I do vodka and soda water with extra lime or a bloody mary (even at night- it's my absolute fave drink ever and hey, at least the mixer is tomato juice!)

    A vodka water isn't that bad either and wine is always my back-up choice.

    I love my spirits - I love to drink Tia Maria + Coke........Deeeelish! I aquaint it to my mysteriously vivacious, but sweet personality.

    I'm not really a wine drinker.......in fact I don't drink much at all really (personal reasons) - just occasionally let my hair but when I do I always have a blast!

    Vodka (even the flavored ones) and Soda. A shot only has about 70 cal in it and the soda water keeps your hydration going in the presense of the alcohol. My go to drink is Raspberry vodka with soda and 1-2 lime wedges
