I am attending a banquet tonight. What is a good alcoholic drink that doesn't have a ton of sugar or calories (like beer or wine)? Suggestions?

    corona light only has 99 calories and it tastes delicious. or you could always opt for the less flavorful MGD 64 or Budweiser Select.

    I really enjoy a nice glass of scotch on the rocks. It's only 65 calories and it is yummy. If you don't like scotch, try tequlia (a good one, like Patron, Don Julia or Aha Toro) on ice and let it sit for a bit then sip on it. Low calories and you aren't getting any of the sugars from those mixes. Enjoy!

    White wine is always a good choice. I love Kendall Jackson Vinter's Reserve Charddonay. YUMMY! :drinker:

    Clear liquor typically has less calories than dark liquor (light rum, tequlia, etc), so mix any of those with a calorie-free mixer (rum and diet coke, tequlia and diet sprite) and you should be good.

    Hard liquors (gin, vodka, rum, etc.) all have similar calories, so it's the mixer that typically kills you. If you like liquor with a soda, just have it with a diet soda. However, liqueur type alcohols such as schnapps, Bailey's Irish Creme, etc., are higher in calories. A basic wine (not a wine cooler or those overly sweet concoctions they sell) isn't that high in calories, either - at least as compared to hard liquor - as long as you keep the ounces to within 4-6.

    Have a great time!!!
