    I typically go with clear liquor and fruit juice or diet soda (I'll avoid chemicals before I avoid sugar). There are graphs online showing the caloric value of different types of alcohol. For example, Jaegermeister is something like (going from memory) 1800 calories per 12oz, while grey goose vodka is somewhere around 110 per 12 oz.

    yeah stuff with diet soda mixers, or just have one or two glasses of wine and don't worry about it.

    Gin and slimline tonic or vodka and diet coke (or any spirit and diet-mixer)

    Steer clear of wine, lager, beer and cider!

    Vodka and club soda is the absolute best for those watching their weight. The second best would be vodka and diet tonic, but most places don't have diet tonic. You are going to be getting excess sugars in any other type of mixer (fruit juice, tonic, etc) and unneccessary sweeteners in any diet beverage (i think diet beverages are a joke - a personal belief). I usually will do either white wine (lower in calories and sugar than red) or a good quality vodka on the rocks with lemon slices. The vodka rocks is strong since it is straight vodka but it makes you sip it, it lasts longer and you don't feel awful the next day from all the sugar in your body combined with a hangover. Anything straight on the rocks will be better for you than a mixer.

    Have fun!!!

    Vodka and water if you can handle the taste. Haha! I have a friend who does that but I usually go with vodka and diet or rum and diet.

    This is one of those unusual situations. Just drink responsibly and have a good time. It is an exception and not the rule. I would not worry about calories in a special circumstance. Personally, I am not a drinker. But if I were, I would just keep the quantities down and not worry so much about the caloric intake at a special event such as this. Just don't make it a habit.

    If I know that I am going to drink, I make sure that I have a calorie deficit that would allow for the drink, and try to make sure that I stay within my calories when I do drink.
