Best low calorie alcoholic drink?

I'm having my fantasy football draft at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight (my wife is soooo excited for me). I already know what I'm going to order for food, but I will be there for 3+ hrs and am wondering what MFP drinks when they are at a bar/restaurant?
I'm trying to get off diet pop, but make an exception when drinking alcohol.
*I usually drink Sam Adams Light, Miller Lite, or Jack and Diet, but am open to suggestions. I also enjoy Vodka and spiced rum.

I drink Heineken Light. Best beer ever. I never have a hangover the next day after drinking many Heinies either! :blushing:
ETA ~ 99 cals a bottle0 -
Straight shots of tequila.0
-
I've been drinking light beer. Mich Ultra is only 95 calories!0
-
Drink coors light, 105 calories... lowest i can find!0
-
I stop off and grab 2 bottles of Fuze Tropical Punch (10 Calories each bottle) and ask them to mix it up with Malibu Coconut Rum. At first it seems strange to bring my own mixers but nothing about this drink tastes low calorie..so I don't care if look silly for a few seconds.0

I'm pretty fond of the bud select 55. For a "light" beer, it's got a really great taste for only 55 calories. If I don't drink those, then I splurge a bit and have a bloody mary for about 130 calories (average)0

you beat me to it with the Jack and Coke, favorite drink ever! a 7 and 7 shouldn't be too bad if you went diet. Or you could say forget the food and go with guinness!0

Miller lite is about 100 calories per can. If you're having 3 or 4, that's not a huge deal. Basically balances out with the gym.
Sam adams is a little more. I got the Sam Oktoberfest the other day and it was 180 calories per serving.
You can get a rum and diet with about 3 shots of rum in it for about 200 calories. That's probably the best bang for your buck calories and alcohol wise.0 -
Mich Ultra Amber for a stronger beer flavor, MGD 64 for beer flavored water (but still pretty good).0
-
Michelob Ultra (96 calories), Bacardi and Diet Coke (60 calories), Budweiser Select (50 Calories)... Smirnoff also has a 0 calorie vodka. I haven't tried it and I don't know if many places carry it, but it's worth a shot!0
-
I hear vodka and tonic water is very low cal but you can also have vodka and water!0
-
vodka and club soda. i LOVE this drink, and the soda water is calorie free!0

calories in per ounce per 100 g
Beer 12 41
Light beer 8 28
Gin, rum, vodka,
whisky, tequila 64 231
Brandy, cognac 50 175
Crème de menthe 124 371
coffee liqueur 117 336
I usually just stick with light beer, since a 12 oz bottle usually has about 100 calories and a mixed drink with 2 oz of hard liquor is about 128 calories for just the alcohol! But maybe someone else knows better!
There's always MGD 640 -
Bud Select isnt too bad and 99 cals per bottle0
-
I bring my own mixer. Crystal lite....lots of flavors go well w/ vodka.0
-
Bud has Select 55 which is 55 calories, lowest beer I know of....when celebrating I like Bloody Marys, not many calories in the mix and even has some healthy stuff0
-
Out of the low calorie beer waters, I really like MGD 64. But it also takes a lot to get a buzz from it, so by the time you actually feel it you might as well have just had a better tasting beer. So I dunno.0

Wow, I never knew there was a 0 calorie vodka. That is something I am going to have to research.
Think I'll try the 55 calorie beer and see who "good" it tastes.0 -
I'd go with two bottles of the sam adams light, and two shots of Patron silver. I guess it depends on how long you're going to be there and whos driving home. I miss good beer, the sa light is about the best thing going for real beer. I've been drinking miller lite and busch light the most lately.0
-
You should try str8 vodka lol i mean thats the whole point of drinking. Average shots can have 100 cal + without adding the mixer :-(0
-
Ouch just googled it...Calories in a shot (25ml) of Vodka: 55 kcal0
-
SKINNY MARGARITAS 100 CALS EACH AND REALLY DO THE JOB LOL!0

YEP!! DO GRAPEFRUIT OR LEMONADE. OR ORANGE0 -
get a vodka soda(tonic water has calories)
Order your drinks from the bar
the next time order a sprite
Keep doing this!
The whole time it appears you are drinking with the guys, but you consume half the booze.
Unless you're just looking for the buzz. lol0 -
vodka and club soda. i LOVE this drink, and the soda water is calorie free!
Yep yep yep! Love it too and with a lime in it, it's wonderful.0 -
red stripe . 120 per. pimms and diet ginger won't cut it at a foot ball night.0
-
Drink coors light, 105 calories... lowest i can find!
for me it's the worst tasting..... rather drink water0 -
I went with drinking Bud Select 55. I was surprised that it tasted pretty good. I really didn't get a buzz after drinking 5 bottles and was very surprised. But I was having fun and didn't look at the alcohol content until today. It's only at 2.40%!!! So you have to drink twice as much to get the normal buzz from a Miller Lite bottle. Plus you're buying twice as many drinks. Those marketing departments for the beer companies are making their companies loads of money...0

Rum diet coke? Really any alcohol with diet coke is very, very low!0

I have to respectfully disagree with this...the OP said he was trying to avoid soda, and regular sprite has just as many calories as any other soda so it wouldn't save him any calories...following that idea, order whatever drink you choose, then ask for a short soda water with lime. looks just like a cocktail and very refreshing! you can alternate these0
