So being 25 and single I go out with friends on the weekends and we drink. Any one have any good suggestions on low cal mixed drinks or wine? I don’t like beer …LOVE vodka lol

    diet pop and a shot of vodka. I love red wine or white you will just have to pace yourself with them they have more alcohol and could give you a hang over easily.

    Vodka goes well with Fresca, or I like raspberry vodka with club soda. They are both very low calorie, and nice and light.

    The grocery stores sell carbonated flavored waters you can mix with rum or vodka. Cranberry-Raspberry is good. Buuuut, so is Peach or Strawberry flavor. If you go out your best bet is diet coke & rum, or vodka & water. I knew a guy who would straight up drink a shot of tequila in lieu of actual drinks. yuck!

    heard that vodka and red wine have negatie calories. It takes more calories to digest them than they have.

    Bacardi and diet soda is pretty low cal... but alcohol itself will lower your metabolism while it is in our system.

    I love cherry vodka and club soda...tastes like a watered down Hawaiian punch.

    Another good one is diet cream soda or root beer and vanilla vodka...yum

    Crystal Light and vodka! I take packets in my purse and order vodka and water. A packet of Lemonade or Rasberry Ice and waaa-laaaa, you have a great cocktail!! Use only half of the packet for each drink and it's only 5 calories!!!!

    Gin ans Slimline tonic with a slice of lemon or cucumber. So refreshing, and light. A great going out dancing drink unlike beer or wine. x

    The appletini was VERY sour (I liked it though) The Mojito was the BEST, didn't like the margreta.
    I keep pitchers full in my fridge.

    I use this site. http://www.drinksmixer.com/ You can search for most liquors. Most give the calorie content/count. Just remember that the calorie count is for 1oz (unless otherwise stated) and a shot is usually considered 1 1/2 oz. After a few drinks making that mistake could add many more calories than you are counting.

    Vodka. Vodka on average has about 100 calories a jigger and is one of the lowest calorie liquors. Bacardi rums aren't too bad either. I would just recommend to use diet soda over regular and definitely over juice. You could end up close to doubling calories just on the mixer! My personal favorite is 3 Olives Rootbeer Vodka and diet coke. Ask the bartender to put in a creamer, it tastes just like a rootbeer float!

    I recommend CalorieKing.com. You can search "alcohol" and it'll bring up everything; All sorts of cocktails, caloric content by shot/jigger, Smirnoff Ice, beer are there. It's ridiculous! how many calories we can consume in a night out. No wonder so many college kids gain extra weight-age.

    My favorite thing to do (which is still satisfying) is to have them mix one glass of white wine (about 120 calories) with club soda (0 calories) over ice and I drink it with a straw like a mixed drink. It is the calorie equivalent of one drink but lasts me about 3 drinks worth (of time it takes to finish it). It also keeps you hydrated.

    I also do the exact same thing with gin (97 calories per 1 1/2 oz), which you could replicate with vodka. Have them put a twist of lime/lemon/orange or a few maraschino cherries in, and you're golden!

    Bottoms up!! : )
