    Well alcohol isn't really the issue as far as calories per say. It's all the stuff that gets mixed with it. I used to drink JD and diet pepsi, or 7 and 7 with diet 7-up. Also have had (not everyplace may have this) diet strawberry margarita's. And of course light beer, which I was always a fan of. I haven't drank in years and I just don't miss it, but I would say you'd be okay if you keep the amount of drinks low and stay within moderation.
    :smokin: Have fun!

    bacardi superior and diet is always a good choice. Mich Ultra has these fruity beers now, they kinda taste like seltzer which I like because I'm not a huge beer fan. I'd steer clear with anything that has more than one kind of liquor because that usually means twice the calories! Or I'm a big fan of a "skinny b*tch"----something I hope to soon be, minus the b*tch aspect, which is just a plain old vodka and diet coke. Have fun chicky

    I just researched this for a friend who's going on vacation. Diet Red Bull & vodka - 65 calories and yummy! Just be sure to drink a glass of water between cocktails to keep the calories down and your enjoyment of the drink up.

    i would actually steer clear of this. we did an article on this in my anatomy class because it wreaks havoc on you heart. the red bull speeds up your heart rate while the the vodka slows it down. also, because of the red bull, you won't feel the effects of it until much, much later which can lead to overdoing it.

    I've taken to drinking soda water with a splash of dry white wine and a slice of fruit. I can have a bunch and still only have a glass or two of wine, plus I keep very hydrated! It isn't for everyone but I :heart: it.

    I vote vanilla vodka and diet! It was my favorite drink for a very long time.

    This used to be my drink till after 2 I would be done, hot flashes, throwing up, it was bad. Has to do with the red bull.

    As a former bartender, here are some things that I would stay away from:
    -Anything with sweet and sour mix (margaritas, daquari's, amaretto sour's, long island ice tea)
    -microbrew beer (although it is soooo good! Can't help it i'm a beer geek!)
    -tonic water-actually very sugary!
    -juice drinks (cranberry/pineapple/orange juice) if you're watching sugar intake

    here are some choices you might enjoy:
    -if you like beer, the usual mgd 64, mich ultra light and things like that are good calorie-wise
    -Bacardi/Vodka/bourbon (my fav is makers mark)and diet coke (I suggest coke products because it usually goes better with alcohol than pepsi products)

    Hope this helps....I am sure I could probably come up with more to drink but i'm at work and it's time to go home! If I think of any I will repost.

    Enjoy! :drinker:

    Careful on the "light beers"... some are loaded with calories even though they claim to be light LOL. the 64 beer is pretty good but is close to a "near beer" being that it has less alcohol than a normal beer... I think around 3%? I mention that cause you tend to drink more of it to get a "buzz" which causes you to consume more calories than if you had just drank regular beer (and gotten a buzz off of maybe 2). make sense?

    my advice... google. go into a night out informed of what you're willing to count up for calories and then stick with whatever you decide. I agree too, to stay clear of anything with mixers in it cause they are loaded with sweets/calories.

    I'd much rather drink shots with a diet soda at only around 60 cals. per drink and knowing the alcohol is in there hehe... but that's just me.
