What's a simple drink I can order that won't break the calorie bank and isn't beer? I'm only going to get one! It's a pub kind of place, so they don't have a "skinny" selection or too many mixed drinks. Also, I really don't know much about alcohol besides 1) vodka exists and 2) beer tastes like old bread, so pretty much any ideas will help! I do know that I need a drink after today though haha

-get a glass of wine and sip it slowly
- a liquor drink with soda - vodka sodas are my favorite and then add limes ....any pub type place can do this, trust me....oh and by soda i mean soda water, not cola.0 -
flavored vodka & diet or regular sprite.0

Don't feel like you have to get something with alcohol in it. It's perfectly acceptable to hang out without it if you don't like it in the first place0
-
vodka, tonic, and a splash of cranberry juice:)0

I've seen many a great idea for low-cal alcohol mixes in past threads. Don't miss out on that vast wealth of knowledge! You can access it by using the "Search" link just above this thread. I would search for the word "alcohol". Best wishes! :flowerforyou:0

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Ketel One mixes really well with soda water (although it's easy to suck those down quickly so be careful!).0 -
You should be able to get diet cola and rum at just about any place. That's my go-to drink. A friend prefers it with vodka instead of rum.0

captain morgans and diet coke.0

Here are some lower calorie drinks I get when I go out:
* Gin or Vodka and Tonic
* Wine Spritzer (half wine, half soda water)
* Vodka or rum of choice with diet coke
* small glass of wine
Not big on beer either for the most part, so these are the kinds of drinks I usually order unless I am splurging drinkwise.0 -

:yawn:

Try a vodka with diet cranberry juice and a splash of soda water0 -
After you have your one drink ask for a seltzer and lime wedge. No calories in the plain seltzer water and it's kinda fun to drink (IMO). Have fun!0

Oh, and OP: beer does not taste like old bread, tyvm. I have nothing helpful to say.0 -
diet coke by itself lol..
red wine/rose the highest volume of liquid for the lowest number of calories i have found.. the only brand of aclohol which includes calories on their product is carling, so i tend to drink that even though it is not that nice.. and my brother emailed southern comfort and they sent him back all the nutritional details.
little bit of preplanning you should be fine though remember alcohol tends to reduce inhibitions and for me that would be a bit probleamatic as i have no impulse control lol.0 -
It is disgusting but a Ultra Michelob light. It's only 95 calories.0
