    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".

    NO alcohol...why waste all those calories on something that going to make you feel like crap in the morning?

    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.
