So, I don't go out often, but have the opportunity to go out tonight, I feel like having a few drinks, but no idea what to get! Help please! I have quite a few calories left, but don't want to drink my supper!

    Itdepends on what you like. If you like mixed drinks they tend to have more calories than shots. There is also light beer as opposed to regular...

    Depends where you're going or what you're doing. You can have glasses of red or white wine. Or make them spritzers with some soda water n a slice of lime over ice. You could also add diet 7up or diet sprite and lime or lemon.

    A shot of most hard liquor (vodka / whiskey / rum) typically has 80 calories. If you mix that with club / diet soda that is the lowest calorie option. I like a citrus based vodka (slightly more than 80 cals) with club and lemon or lime wedges to squeeze some juice in the mix!

    Vodka is known to slow down weight loss. Red wine is normally low cal, i drink the light beer alot

    I normally go w/ vodka - diet soda maybe? I dont drink soda... I go dirty (martini) which is just a splash of olive juice.,..yes there is a bit of sodium..but I could care less.
    If I dont have that I go with vodka/tonic/lemon wedge....which is what I'm going with tonight!

    I do vodka and soda with lemon or lime. Around 70 cals and the lemon is good for you. :)

    I had two light beers today when I went out after work with the girls for less than 200 cals for both, and white wine is pretty low as well...

    Things that come in single serve containers are the easiest to record. If the bartender is using a jigger, you'll probably get a recordable amount from that, too.

    You know what, if you dont go out often have what you like the best just in moderation! You can always try something new as well that other people suggest but you dont want to pay for something you might not like. (Im a bad example because ill drink anything) Bring on the rum!!! Btw have a great time !!!

    What bothers me about bud select 55 and other really low calorie beers is they are also really low alcohol percentage. It is like less than 3% alcohol. For some people that may be all they want...I however like the idea of club soda and a shot of flavored vodka (not UV, I mean the better stuff that is clear..not too sugary) for maybe 100 calories or whatever and it is 35% alcohol. See where I'm going with this lol :drinker:

    Thank you all for your help! I have no tolerance for alcohol, so I can get a good buzz going with 5 beers! Totally fine with beer! That might be the drink of choice! Thanks again!
