Hello, SO tomorrow night I am going out for the first time since starting MFP. I was just wondering what is the "healthiest" low cal drink I can get at a bar....

    Probably a spirit with a diet mixer, ie. Brandy + Diet Coke, Vodka + Slimline tonic, etc

    I think they're around 50 cal each.

    Vodka w/ water & a slice of lemon or lime is 55 to 65 calories per oz of vodka (depends on brands) and you can alternate plain water with the vodka w/ water and nobody knows the difference :)

    Gin'n'slimline tonic - I like mine with a slice of lime.

    Vodka soda water and lime (fresh, not the sugary syrup stuff)

    Dry white wine.

    Champagne :wink:

    Bloody Mary's are actually one of the best because vodka is the best alcohol you could drink, calorie wise, and then you get the tomato juice too, which is good for you.

    Gin and soda water with lime and maybe a splash of cranberry (just a splash!) is good too. I used to drink gin and tonics but found out that tonic water is PACKED full of sugar, which obviously turns into fat. So I switched to soda water.

    Rum and diet soda with lime is another ok one.

    It depends what you like - my strategy is to have something that I like and alternate it with a plain soda water so I only get half the calories over the whole night.
    I usually drink Pure Blonde beer - not because it's low carb (marketing nonsense!) but because I like the taste and I don't mind the fact that it has less calories.

    My favorite beer is bud light lime. Mmm. I'll mix it with extra lime and even some big green olives and sometimes a splash of v8 to make a chalada. I make this when I just want to enjoy a good beer. :)

    I love vodka on the rocks, or cut with a bit of plain water and a squeeze of lime. A lot fo bang for your caloric buck!:drinker:
