This weekend is the Super Bowl and I'm going out to watch it with friends and I'm looking for drinks I can order at a bar that is lower in calories and tastes good too! I'm not a beer drinker but I don't mind mixed drinks or malt drinks (Mike's hard lemonades). Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    I personally like Vinalla Stoli, Soda Water (or diet 7up/sprite depending on where I am) and Lime- it kind of reminds me of Cream Soda with a perk. If you're at a bar and you want is sweeter as for a push of 7up or juice...

    I agree with the gin & tonic, or a whiskey and ginger (diet), or a rum & coke (diet). They're basically the best way to get some alcohol with a sugar-free liquid to stretch the size of the drink. The carbonation doesn't hurt with increasing how full you feel either.

    This doesn't really answer your question for out at the bar, but on the general topic, here's a recipe for a very good margarita, at only 110 calories: http://www.hungry-girl.com/show/to-the-mex-hgs-magical-low-calorie-margarita-recipe

    It's basically just using a "crystal light" style limeade packet, some tequila, and some diet lemon-lime soda.

    There is a list here of a lot of drinks with their calories . It looks like a Mimosa (4 oz= 75 calories) has the least.

    Bourbon, rocks or neat. One oz of bourbon runs about 70 kcal, unless you're drinking Wild Turkey 101, which is a bit higher since it's 100 proof as opposed to the 80 proof of most bourbon.

    Well, that's what I choose, anyway. If straight bourbon is too strong for you, it mixes well with Coke Zero.

    Haven't read any of the other posts so I dont know if these were already said:

    Cherry vodka + club soda --- about 25 calories

    Vodka + Sugar-free redbull -- 15 calories


    Basically, any type of clear alcohol mixed with a no-cal/low-cal beverage is a good bet. Or if your looking to get drunk, do shots & just ask for a diet coke to chase it if needed =)

    White wine and club soda (or diet Sprite) over ice.

    Or go here and click around for your favorites: http://www.calorieking.com/calories-in-alcohol.html

    As we don't have "a dog in the fight" for the Super Bowl, we are going to pack a picnic and go to a favorite state park for a hike and lunch. We'll eat way better, get some fresh air and exercise, and have a better time than standing in a bar :-)

    Best wishes on your health and wellness journey!

    My drinks as posted on this site:

    Grey Goose - Vodka, 2 oz 138 0 0 0
    Ocean Spray - Cranberry 100% Juice Blend, 8 oz (1 cup)/250 mL 150 38 0 0

    or

    Sailor Jerry's Rum - 69 Calories (Cpt Morgan is 60)
    Coke Zero - ZERO!

    With that in mind, however, understand that it isn't the calories that are beating your diet:
