    mic ultra lite is pretty low in calories ... only about 70 ...

    nothing with juice ... you could drink vodka, soda and lots of lime or maybe a splash of cranberry for flavor but truly...those bar juices are just loaded with sugar.

    I drink vodka (grey goose or absolut mandarin) and club soda (zero calories) and a lime!

    With dinner or in the afternoon, I'll have a glass of red wine!

    How about a "virgin" drink (non-alcoholic)? What could you order that's low cal?

    Alcohol has a bunch of empty calories and thats not even after you add a mixer! Plus, once you get your buzz on your inhibitions go out the window and it's harder to make smart choices....including healthy ones. When I know I'm going out I make myself workout harder and/or longer, enjoy a good healthy meal before hand so I'm less tempted to binge on bar food and alternate drinking my cocktail with water.

    My alcoholic drink of choice right now is whipped vodka, club soda and a splash of some kind of fruit juice or a small portion of regular soda (I cant stand drinks with the fake sugar) =P~ The club soda has 0 cal so it helps me cut back on the sugar. Regardless of what you do enjoy yourself! It's ok to splurge every once in a while ~just do it in moderation =)

    I'd go with the vodka. More bang for your caloric buck if you want to actually "feel" the effects. If you just want something to hold and look cool at the bar, go for the light beer. Michelob Ultra is a good one :drinker:

    I am normally a beer drinker, I have given up drinking last few weeks because I cant stand taking in the empty calories, but I know that won't happen this time around.

    I have heard stick to light beer, some say no vodka with water and lime?? Any input??

    Light beer is fine. Amstel Light is 95 calories. Personally, I think beer is more filling. Straight liquor and wine are good, too. I think an average serving is as much as 130 calories. Where you get into trouble is with mixed drinks that have sugary syrups or ingredients.

    Lifehacker.com recently had an article on the best alcoholic drinks for weight loss. I would Google it.

    White Zin - 80 cal a glass
    Vodka and Sprite Zero - 65 cal a glass

    Stay away from rums, dark liquors and anything with sweet and sour is killer with calories

    Nothing wrong with Vodka, lime, and soda water. A 2oz vodka drink of this sort will run you 146 calories per drink.

    Cherry Vodka and Diet coke, unless they have diet sprite or fresca. Cherry Vodka, vanilla vodka and diet coke is great. About 64 cals per shot. Root of all evil is Diet root beer and absinthe, 150 calories per shot/drink and you won't need many. Shots being 1.5oz

    I'm heading out for my birthday tomorrow night and plan on drinking white wine. There's about 100 calories in a 5oz glass and I rarely drink, so I figure 4 glasses will do me just fine. :)

    Soda water with tons of ice and a lemon wedge. You don't have to drink alcohol just because everyone else is.

    I JUST bought some NEW cystal lite packets - one margarita flavored and one pomtini flavored! They were in the alcohol section. Looks like you mix them with water then add your alcohol. Can't wait to try them.
