Less Caloric Alcohol....

If you really prefer beer, Budwieser makes a wonderful 55 calorie beer. It actually tastes very good. I love beer

Bud Select 55. Tastes almost like beer, only 55 calories a bottle

Supposed to avoid alcohol? I have heard that too, but there is no point in going on a diet that guarantees failure as soon as I go back to my real life... I don't avoid it, just try my best to limit the calories.

Mix vodka or any clear alcohol with water and mix in a crystal light individual package. My sisters swear by this - WAY less calories than mixing with coke or fruit juice.

The lowest calorie alcohol is bacardi the clear kind, its about 55 per shot. I love the pinnacle whipped vodka I drink that wih the flavored sparkling water its so yummy. The best thing about vodka is it doesn't have any carbs!! I am a carb counter.

I'm turning 21 on Saturday AND in college so i'm pretty cognoscente of this. Rum and Vodka are about 60-70 calories per shot so if you have that with Diet Coke or Diet Sprite that's not a bad drink. Avoid Baileys, fruity drinks (high in sugary calories), and non-light beer. Good luck! It's just about being careful. Shots are fun but each time you throw back a vodka shot you're putting 60-70 calories in your body in .5 seconds. Life is supposed to be fun and alcohol is often a part of that so just be cautious.

I couldn't agree more! I love drinkin.......so I try to make better choices. Such as the above I pretty much stick to Vodka and any diet soda. To make it more interesting, I use a flavored vodka (Same calorie amount as plain) with a zero sprite. It's delicious!!

Hey if you want the beer work it in. You'll have to give up some food. I have a couple of beers at the bar every weekend

Hmmm...all those things are true, but for me, if I want a thing, I'm going to have that specific thing...or I'll just keep eating/drinking till I feel satisfied. Speckled here and there throughout my food diary are Bombay Sapphire w/ diet tonic, Jose Cuervo Especial w/ cuervo diet margarita mix (O cals in the mix)...and even Mothership Wit @ 155 calories a bottle. Sure, I could drink 3 bottles of beer I don't care for for the same calories, but I'd rather have the beer I like and be careful with other food and add in some exercise. Just something to think about if you are picky.

I usually do vodka and seltzer w/ a cherry and lime - but I LOVE my red wine - so I will bust my behind to drink a bottle - yup I said a bottle - the next morning go really hard on the WATER!!!!

I've recently gotten to be very good friends with a gentleman by the name of Captain Morgan. A shot of that in a Diet Coke and you've got just 60 calories of alcoholic goodness.

I love him. He's my buddy!

Good to know!

If fact...colder weather is upon us...HOT TOTTIE TIME with CappyM is my fav!!!!

I LOVE wiskey sours, so I started making them with a tad bit less wiskey and instead of using the traditional mix that is packed with sugar, I got some of the cheap, off brand (great value lol) crystal light stuff. The lemonade type.

Pretty much, after that I bought just about every flavor of 0 calorie crystal light that I could find and have made all sorts of drinks with them. Some people say they cause cancer. I guess if my doctor sees signs of cancer then I will stop lol. Until then, im drinking them every day.

rum & diet coke or gin and fresca

vodka, water, ice and 3 lime wedges; very good and refreshing!

I love uv blue vodka and crystal light lemonade. uv has 69 calories per 1 ounce and the crystal light has 5. I just eat less if I'm going to drink. Might not be the right way, but if I don't have a little fun once in a while, what's the use??!!

I drink scotch and coke zero, even when not on a modified eating plan, and just cut out something else during the day to compensate. i find that its not so much the drink it's the chips and stuff that are usually hanging around at get togethers that are the problem.
