I probably already know the answer to this question but what is the best alcoholic drink to have when trying to loose weight? I am always well under my calorie goal for the day on what I eat.

    I really like the Skinny Girl drinks. I think they are 140 calories a serving. Pretty good too.

    Hi,

    I enjoy my wine, but know fairly high in calories, I was told spirits with Diet coke as no calories in the diet or very little so I usually have 2 glasses rose then go onto vodka and diet coke :)

    Any thing clear (rum, vodka, gin, etc.) with diet soda or diet tonic. No fruit juice, wine or beer.

    Probably none. But diet coke with a spirit is usually very low in calories. I guess not as nice as a cocktail!

    Any you like as long as it fits in your calorie goal and you aren't over doing it.

    Personally, I go for Guinness, red wine (usually merlot) and white Jamaicans.

    Beer is my weekness. The key with anything is moderation. I swiched from Killian's to Coors light. 326 vs 102.
  • Thanks for your replies everyone should probably stay clear or to much wine and cider then ha ha
