So the weekend is coming up. Does anyone have suggestions for some "light" alcoholic drinks for going to networking events and the like?

    Bud 55? You can have one Guinness for like 130 calories and since it's so thick it will take a while to drink and you may not need more than one drink. You could also have one beer and switch to water, who says you have to drink alcohol all night?

    I'm not sure this is light...but I like to get the good flavored vodka (like any of the pinnacle whipped yum!) and mix them with diet 7up. Only 69 calories per shot. :0) I can't wait to hear other ideas...

    Tonic has a surprising amount of sugar - any spirits with a diet mixer is the best you'll get, and oddly less alcohol content than wine!

    vodka and flavored selzer water (or flavored carbonated water - 0 calories and most are all natural)

    vodka is actually the "cleanest" alcohol to drink and its th easiest on the liver and the body because of its distillation process. If you can get a triple distilled thats even better.

    Eat salad:) haha... cuz no matter what you drink, it will have calories.

    Diet Tonic is free, but most bars do not carry it. If you are mixing at home though, pick some up. I drink my diet tonic with vodka or gin. Yummy. :)

    Vodka soda. Or vodka Diet Coke/Sprite. An ounce of vodka has like 70-90 calories. Plus, you'll be walking around Manhattan a bunch! Don't forget to log that. Also, text me.
