Hello
What does everyone drink then? I'd like to know.
For my sins, i love a pint of real ale, a lot of pints of real ale really, anything up to eight or nine,
I do like drinking, but i do need to lose weight as well, and i do stick to the goals and exercise.
But as i say, i do like a drink,
So what's the best drink, calorie wise? I'd love to hear your opinions.

I would like to know this also. I drink red wine myself. Usually about 2-3 glasses at a time. But only about once a week or so. Anyways, I would like to know if there is a "diet" friendly drink out there!0

I love my merlot.... but I add it into my dairy and work for it by burning cals before and after - also I will drink lots and lots of water the next day
But when I was on vacation I drank vodka and seltzer with lime..... low in cals0 -
Ciders such as Reds, Hunters Gold...Also a fan of liquers and Amarula.0

Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum
Jack Daniels
Travis Hasse Apple Pie
My homemade Mango Tequila
Absinthe
Pinot Grigio
Not all great calorie choices, but they're my favorite, so I make room for them!0 -
I drink wine, far too much of it, to be honest, but only at the weekends, and I exercise a lot to make up for it.0

I drink one night each weekend, normal a glass of wine and then spirits and mixers. I was REALLY freaked out when I started doing this but I drink a lot of water in between and eat clean/'long run the next day and it definitely hasn't hindered my weight loss. Also I dance like a mofo when I'm out so maybe that helps :P0

I drink wine and let Zumba take care of the calories.0

I love beer, Blue Moon is my fave but I've been drinking a pt of Lite at night (we have a kegorator) I add it into my food diary0

The way I see it, you shouldn't miss out on the drinks you love because of the calories. Just work your *kitten* off and burn the calories before drinking. Well that's what I do at least. It makes ne happy lol0

RUM- cheap Parrot bay rum is 66 cals. I use it with coke zero OR with crystal light fruit punch- don't knock it till you try it0
-
I drink dry white wine every nite and count it in with my cals for the day.
Lambrini lite wine is only around 50 cals a glass :-)0 -
Captain Morgan and Diet Coke, not very often though.0
-
Vodka and diet mountain dew is my drink of choice :-)0

I usually get vodka cranberry. I like them, but I would totally prefer something higher in calories!0
-
Vodka and diet tonic....I am pretty sure vodka has the least calories, sometimes I drink gin and diet tonic0

The 'best' alcoholic drinks as such are the ones that don't have much sugar in the mixer. Wine isn't overly high in calories on the scale of things (some alcoholic cocktails can have 800 calories a serve) but vodka or gin mixed with zero calorie soda water and maybe a squeeze of lemon for flavour is only 70 calories a drink. That's what I have in the weekend
70 cal is my estimate anyway, i have about 30ml...think a 'standard' 25ml shot has just over 50 cal0 -
Wine is one of the best things for you, due to the antioxidents and "resveratrol".0

Lo carb options are rum and diets. I am a huge beer fan, prefer IPA's. They are not diet friendly however. I have gone with the Ultra's but man, they leave a lot to be desired. I stick to Miller Lite. I read something in Mens Health that said alcohol can hut weight loss as the body attacks the alcohol as it believes it is poison and shuts down digestion of everything else until it deals with the alcohol. Or something similar to that.0
