    So bummed by all the light, nasty, yellow beer haters out there. There are those of us who love craft beer, go to festivals / tastings, even brew it in their own homes...yet appreciate the thought of getting good and *kitten*$D UP. Craft beer gets me full real fast and costs a good deal more. Whereas Hooligan's will sell you 20oz of rolling rock for $2. But, then again, I'm just not much of a snob about anything. To each their own...but I'm trying to catch a buzz and be under my calorie limit. Like others have said, when I am finally maintaining my weight, and not losing weight, I'll go back to getting drunk on 225 calorie pints of craft stuff.

    I tried light beer last night... not my thing.

    I've decided that since I'm such a light weight with drinking, I'm just going to take it easy with food that day and drink what I want. I don't have alcohol often enough to worry about it.

    Yes I am and I was a big light beer drinker several times a week until I joined my fitness pal. I saw I
    was getting.g nowhere so I cut down a real lot and have seen a dramatic change in my weight. I
    now drink wine once a week usually on weekend. I have now lost 8 pounds.

    jamison or crown, double, straight on the rocks. Its worth it....but only have one drink

    Do not sully the Jamesons with ice. :huh:



    Also, a double is only 138, you can afford more than one if necessary.

    Always ask for a low cal alternative. Fresh limeor lemon juice with a splash of cranberry or other fruit juice added to your favoritie liquor (preferably clear..tequila /vodka) often works well.

    Sounds like a few of you might enjoy this group as well. :drinker:

    I was reading about this earlier because I fully plan on drinking wine tonight, but apparently champagne might be your best bet depending on how inebriated you want to get. Have fun!

    You know, i'm more of a beer girl. I LOVE it. Straight liquor for some reason makes me REAL ANGRY lol. but i'll try it tonight, If you guys don't hear from me tomorrow it means I whooped somebody *kitten* for looking at me the wrong way and i'm sitting in jail.

    That is exactly me. miller lite only has 95 calories though- (i'm gonna track it real quick) I thought it had WAY more. if so, i can afford those calories and get smashed.

    haha..i hear ya. straight liquor gets to me too..I think it's because I drink it too fast.
    I can't drink wine or beer quickly.

    When I go out I take along a packet or two of crystal light lemonade. I order a shot or a double of tequila & a glass of water, drink enough of the water down, add 1 packet of lemonade, and dump in the tequila with a wedge of lime. Pretty much a no-sugar Margarita.

    I'm pretty sure it's the dancing. When I go to the club I usually go with my friend and sit at the bar. I wish i had my old computer. a couple 4 years back we went out for halloween as Lil Wayne and tpain. you know them "he raps" "he sings shirt". well she had on a shirt that said "she dances" and I wore a wig with dreads and shirt that said "she drinks".

    Vodka, or white rum, with a splash of club soda, and some crushed mint.

    Vodka, or white rum, with club soda, Chambord, and some cranberry juice

    Vodka, or white rum, in a club soda with a bit of chocolate liqueur

    I like vodka and white rum a lot, can you tell?

    Also, taking a shot of vodka, followed by a mixture of lemon juice, some sprite and limoncello mixed together is always a nice little "indulgent" drink.
