    I have some kind of alcoholic beverage probably about 4-5 days in an average week. I haven't cut it out since starting MFP as I think too many changes at once are not going to be sustainable for me, and it's something I really enjoy to relax. I just make sure that I only have one or two drinks and I save the calories for it.

    My go-to's are:

    Gin with diet tonic
    Rum and coke (this is a treat for when I have enough cals!)
    Straight rum or whisky (normally a double/50ml which is about 100 cals)
    Prosecco/ wine (usually 1 small glass, sometimes 2 on a weekend if I have the calories for it)
    A light beer or lager - but I will have a smaller 330ml bottle/ can rather than a pint
