I like vodka and 5 calorie diet cranberry, or vodka diet tonic with lime.0

I like vodka and soda water with a lime! Blueberry vodka is good if you like a little flavor!
Exactly! Except I like an orange wedge in mine instead of lime. I personally can't mess around with flavored vodka's though (unless it's the SUPER expensive restaurant infused ones). My headache lasts the entire next day.0 -
Vodka+sprite zero+lemon and lime wedges=a naughty limeaid! Mmmmmm!! If you don't want soda or artificial sweetener then just str8 vodka, enjoy!
Also, I've looked up this question before and it said the best bang for your buck as far as calories vs alcohol content, that red wine is best.
Make sure to match your adult beverages with H2O!0 -
I am planning on drinking lots of red wine tonight. Can't wait! Does red wine have have lots of carbs? Probably. Darn it!0

Sadly, alcohol really has no place in a fitness and weight loss programme, for me at least.
To each their own, but in my lifestyle change it's everything in moderation.0 -

I enjoy craft beers - and as a rule, caloric information is not available for them. So I do an estimation based on the chart on THIS page:
http://www.simplybeer.com/how-many-calories-are-in-my-beer/?wpmp_tp=2
I'll usually use the lower number for hoppy IPAs, and the higher number for sweeter beers like imperial stouts and malty imperial IPAs. It may not be an exact calculation, but I'm close to within plus or minus 10 calories per serving.
NOTE: That chart is for 12-oz pours. So if you are getting a full pint of your favorite brew, be sure to multiply by 4/3.0 -

Ha ha love it....:drinker:0 -
Bottle of wine (white) =555
Bottle of wine (red) =510
In other words, an entire bottle of wine and all it's yummy warm buzziness is only about the same calories as one large fast food burger. So, I skip the drive thru and head for the wine shop.
1/2 bottle of wine (2 glasses) with dinner adds < 300 calories. I can burn that in 20 min. :drinker:0 -

The difference though, is empty calories. Your body can use the carbs, protein, and fat in that burger. A glass of red wine has about 5 carbs. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with drinking, I have some scotch now and then. Just saying not every calorie is equal.0 -
So I'm supposed to log my alcohol intake? CRAP!!0

I usually love a good, dark, lovely beer but when it comes to watching calories, I opt for Mich Ultra.0

My body would be better off without other things in that fast food burger, but I get your point. I can meet all my nurtrient goals and still have calories left over for wine as long as I work out. So unless my doctor says the wine is affecting my health, I'm working those calories in. I like to live well.0
