I’m curious what y’all drink while counting calories. I’m new to this but willing to trade a few calories for a relaxing night cap. What’s the best options?

    Corona premier - If I’m being cautious that day - other wise any beer really

    Hard alcohol has fewer calories per ounce than beer or wine. Ciders generally have the most calories, along with other sweet drinks. When I want a drink I make a diet rum and coke with my favourite spiced rum. Works out to 70 calories from the ounce of rum. Not a difficult thing to work into a day's or a week's total calories.

    I do spiced rum and diet. My favorite is white wine.

    Whiskey with Sprite Zero and a slice of lime or Bud Select 55 has only 55 calories but it also has half the alcohol than other lite beers too.

    Taking shots helps you count calories better and gets you drunk faster with limited calories.

    What do you normally drink? I found a list of beers with low calories... some as low as 120. I tend to be the only woman I know who drinks ale, but if anyone's interested, I'll type out the list of about 8-10 beers.

    Let’s see the list taffy - I’ve been drinking a lot of corona premiers lately - go figure right ?

    Sure, no worries. I took phone pics of all the beers so I could try to find them in the stores, so I'll type it out later today.
