    Lots of options but I stick to red wine these days.

    I love to add a little flavored seltzer water (like La Croix) to red wine. It cuts the calories and makes a 4 oz glass last you a lot longer... If you don't like red wine, try white or a gin and diet tonic.

    Light beer is my choice, at around 100 cals per 12 oz bottle.

    Liquor with diet soda is also a good choice- Rum and diet coke, or one I like is vodka with diet sprite/7up and a splash of cranberry. They also make lower sugar cranberry juice.

    Mike's light hard lemonade. It tastes a little less like lemonade but I still really like it. 110 calories for one bottle. Half the amount of a regular bottle (:

    Pretty much as low as you can go for liqueur is a shot, and that's just over 90 cal. Start adding in mixes and it goes up.

    When thinking about drinking I try and go for the biggest bang for my buck. Dark beer is usually low in calories (Guinness is around 140) and also has a lot of beneficial ingredients.

    Avoid fruity beverages if you can. They add up REAL quick.

    I know there's the canadian 67 which has 67 calories but I never tried it, I think it's Molson that brews it. I tend to avoid commercial beers, choose micro-brewers instead and I just limit myself on quantities. Besides, if you dance during the evening, you can burn it pretty easily.

    Whipped vodka (tastes like whipped cream) or try the "cake" flavored vodka, i usually mix with diet 7up, light cranberry juice, or diet coke

    Budweiser beer the 55 calorie (tastes kinda watery though)

    As previously mentioned though, most beers (ex: michelob golden light and coors) both have 100+ calories, try to stay away from "juice" drinks, Unless its mixed with orange juice...you can usually substitute with Diet orange soda...

    Good luck, have fun, be safe!

    Keep in mind, drinking usually leads to snacking.... my biggest problem is not so much the alcohol calories, its the snacks i wanna munch on while drinking that leads to my gain.... (popcorn, crackers, cheese, pizza, etc)

    I drink vodka (lowest cal of the mixers) and club soda, because it is no calories...usually i find bars dont have diet sodas and tonic adds too many calories. Then i add extra lime. So total drink is only 67 cals for each shot of vodka added. I dont like beer. I do like wine but high cals. The new " skinny girl" drinks are good too.

    Red wine, it has health benefits so I don't feel so bad drinking it.

    According to ChaCha.com, 360 vodka has about 30 calories a shot. And it's eco friendly. This is my new favorite!! :drinker:

    Pick an unflavored vodka (flavored vodkas are loaded with sugar) and mix it with Minute Made Sugar Free Lemonade. Per shot of vodka can range from 60 to 90 calories, depending on the proof, and the lemonade is only 5 calories PER CAN. :)
