    Slimming World says that spirits such as Vodka/Gin and diet mixer are the lowest "Syn" wise. Just make sure you drink water to ensure you don't dehydrate and have a good time :happy:

    I like Crown Royal or Jack Daniels on the rocks, just to sip all night. Not too many calories, and you don't chug it.

    Hehe. There's no such thing as a "healthy drink." Just have fun! It's your 21st birthday, you'll probably puke at the end of the night anyway. Just sayin ;). Happy birthday!

    Tall vodka soda splsh of cranberry juice:) Looks girly, tastes good and not too bad on the calories. Definitely better for you than diet soda.

    Happy Birthday!!!

    Eating before you drink to keep from getting drunk is not exactly true. You are still gonna get intoxicated from drinking and the only thing to make you sober again is time.

    Happy Birthday! Order something you can sip for a long time--maybe red wine for its anti-oxidants. Sugar free tonic with lime tastes as good as gin and tonic to me and it looks like you are holding a drink. Have fun.

    I drink Southen Comfort and diet soda, like 70 cals, and for beer I drink Budweiser Select 55, 55 cals. The select tastes good, mgd 64 tastes more like beer though. I think both of them are about half the alcohol content of a regular lite beer so you won't get as buzzed.

    Can I trade places with you...pretty please???

    Enjoy yourself, you have only one 21st birthday in your entire, hopefully; very long life. Order whatever you like with extra ice. Worry about working it off when you are 21 years + 1 day old. Seriously.

    Happy early birthday, and enjoy! You only turn 21 once, and everything in moderation! :)

    Wine spritzers are in my repertoire if I'm going to have a drink: 4oz of red wine, fill glass with ice, and top with diet 7UP/Sprite/Gingerale. Nice and fizzy and red wine is good for ya!

    I turn 21 this year as well and i hope not to gain a beer belly or anything. I think anything in moderation will be fine and as well not going out every other day.

    spirits + soda water (the type with 0 calories) + a wedge of lime. If you don't like the taste of the basic spirits, go for something like sambucca or ouzo (designed to have with just water!) or a flavoured vodka. That adds a few calories but not as much as adding juice or soft drink does.

    i get a flavored top shelf vodka and soda. it's about 100 calories a drink and since I dont drink that often anymore or don't eat many things that act as a sponge, 2 drinks is the most i can do.
