    I know people are going to tell you wine, but who drinks wine at a bar? At least, it doesn't happen in alaska.

    Ever since I've started dieting and getting serious about my health I've been DDing.

    Diet mixers with your choice of alcohol. I like rum and diet cokes. Mixed drinks can be killer (think in the 500 calorie range). Most alcohol tends to be about 60 calories an ounce (and a shot is an ounce and a half).

    Stay away from margaritas!

    I love my vodka! LOL - but I have recently started drinking Skinny Sweet Tea Vodka- only 64 calories a drink. I mix with tea but some ppl like diet Sprite, or water. 64 calories a pop- yea, I can do that :)

    Vodka with lime juice and club soda. One ounce vodka = 65 calories.

    My friend has a sneaky trick -- she packs Crystal Light (or any of those other drink powder mixes) and just orders whatever hardliquor on the rocks. :D

    shots or mix with diet soda.

    by shots though I mean like tequila or something... not some mixed grenadene thing or something like that (used to love fruit tingles shots, now they taste WAY to sweet and yuck and the amount of calories in something so small just isn't worth it

    Diet soda gets you drunk faster. Which is fine, if that's what you want.

    Drink vodka with half tonic water and half soda water with a twist in a tall glass. Or, ditch the tonic water and go all soda water.

    This one time, I had a fantastic night by having a shot of tequila and then a glass of water, (repeated about 12x). Warning: this works best with good tequila, not the ****ty kind.

    I'm with the others...hard liquor and diet drink of your choosing.
    However, because i like to log the quantity fairly accurately, i usually get a plain diet soda (or iced tea or whatever) and ask for the hard liquor in a shot glass...it gives me a better idea of count...and i either dump it (or part of it) in my coke, or drink and chase.

    I've got to try that skinny sweet tea vodka!!

    Vodka water with a bit of lime juice! sure diet soda has no calories but its so not good for you. drinking vodka waters gives you way less of a hangover too ;)
