    I know beer if usually thought of as the anti-diet drink, but I like to order it. I always know that 12 oz is about 100 calories...whereas with a glass of wine, you have no idea how much is in your glass. And you have no idea how much liquor bartenders put in a mixed drink. It helps me keep track! Plus I happen to like beer..takes awhile to drink and fills you up.


    I used to be a bartender...a shot is 1.5 oz, so a rum and diet coke has 1.5 oz rum and the rest is diet coke, however big their glasses are... I dont remember how many oz is in a glass of wine, but I do know that there are exactly 5 glasses in a (normal sized) bottle IF they pour it right. I've worked at a nightclub, country club, a chain restaurant, and a sports bar, and its the same every place I've worked.

    I feel like whenever I start drinking my weight loss plateaus (like at the moment)!!! I achieve the best weight loss when I lay off booze completely....for me its not only about the calories but the QUALITY of the calories..or I just don't show results. Weird huh!? :)

    Vodka is the least fattening, but definitely no health benefits. Mix with a healthy juice! Lol

    I agree vodka and some diet cranberry juice or skinny margarita or sangria! I'm a white wine drinker but when I switch to red I get the same buzz with a glass compared to a bottle of white:blushing: yes the bottle...i like a lil buzz now and then
