    if it is alcohol, it all the same, depends on size of glass and so forth. The average rule of thumb is aobut 100 cal a shot +/- the drink. lower proof less cals unless it has other things like soda or other ingrediants.

    Diet Coke and VODKA?? EWWW! :tongue: No offense, but generally mixing vodka with a dark soda is considered not a good idea... just like mixing dark rum with Sprite would be... less than ideal. lol

    My new fave is Gin & Tonic, but I use the calorie-free flavored sparkling waters from Wal-Mart instead of regular tonic. Think they might have something similar at the bar? About 100 cals for a one-shot drink.

    You can do rum & diet for the same, just ask the bartender to let you know if he plans on putting any "extra" in your drink. :wink:

    I would say a bloody mary, v8 juice or tomato juice are typically low calorie, and if you mixit with something low proof then it would be even lower. Plus if you add hot sauce that is supposed to be good for digestion and speeding the metabolism(supposedly) although a bloody mary is typically with vodka you could sub it for rum I guess, not sure about the taste though. :ohwell:

    ahh if you're only having 1 or 2 then I wouldn't worry too much about it. anything with tonic water is fine by the way. Just try to stay away from the frozen drinks, they usually have lots of sugar.
