    Simple drinks with minial sugar such as a rum and diet Coke. Light beers do not have too many calories also.

    Vodka.

    If I'm drinking beer, I just limit the beers I consume otherwise I start to feel bloated.

    Log both..

    I agree with a lot of this. If your going to drink. Drink good stuff.
    microbrew, top shelf stuff. non boxed wine.

    Its your body, don't feed it junk.

    I try to stick to gin and slimline tonic, but I like white wine too. My weakness is cider. I love the stuff SO much but it's so full of calories :(

    Although my weakness is white wine I've heard that sugar free is the best way to go to avoid belly fat...which would mean dry reds, vodka, gin, whisky and believe it or not rum. Just watch your mixers and count the calories.

    I suggest beer. Real, full calorie beer. Run, do some lunges, whatever it takes. But don't cut yourself short on enjoying the nectar of the keg.

    Hendrick's gin is the way to go! I believe it only has 70 or so calories per serving, and is so good it doesn't need a mixer.

    Cold and free are my favorites..

    ^^^AGREED!

    Personally, I rarely drink and I never log the calories b/c frankly I don't really care to. If I'm actually going out and having a drink or two, I'm going to enjoy the drink and not concern myself with cals...also, I'm usually dancing or walking around talking to everyone so I figure I'm burning cals at the same time :wink:
    Get what you like and what you'll enjoy....

    And not to knock anyone...but I gotta comment on the malibu and moutain dew mix...its not the cals in the rum but the calories in the mountain dew & the brominated vegetable oil they put in mt. dew that would concern me lol
    Keep the malibu and toss the dew

    A Limana is my favorite drink. Don Q cristal rum (65 calories per ounce) and club soda (0 calories) with lime. Refreshing. :)
