Hi everyone. I'm going out with some friends tonight and was wondering what you all drink when you are out? I have 2 kids so don't go out much! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

    Wow I've already seen about 3 threads on this already today!! So I'll say it again, haha - vodka or gin mixed with slimline tonic or soda water. Ask for a gin and slimline tonic, vodka and slimline tonic, or vodka and soda :)
    I these, the only cals come fromt the alcohol - about 55 cals for one shot of vodka, probably similar for gin.
    Have a good time :D

    Oh and remember - if you're going out, if you're dancign and whatnot you'll be burning extra cals so don't be afraid to treat yourself a bit :) my favorite very rare treat is a delicious pina colada XD (and, brilliantly, the bar doesn't want to waste money giving you looaadss of tasty cocktail so they fil the glass with ice, keeping the serving actually relitavely small usually compared to what you might make yourself at home.)

    Rum, Vodka, Gin and Scotch Wiskey all have 0 carbs. I typically stick to Bacardi Silver. Also, no flavored liquors like Limon or Cake.

    Mix with Diet Coke and you are fine.

    my favorite low cal drink is citrus vodka and soda water! 60 calories for one short drink. The only thing to be cautious of with tonic water is sugar content. Unfortunately, most bars don't have the low sugar option, so I always stick with soda water to be safe. Enjoy your weekend!!

    I drink vodka and water with a little splash of cranberry with a lime. Must be cold though, do not ask for no ice. Less vodka, but warm is slightly repulsive.

    I can attest to that, got given a (double)vodka&soda without ice by accident last night....eewww.

    I'm hooked on this raspberry lambic beer that Lindemann's makes. 12 oz, under 90 cals. Tastes like a glass of candy, but surprisingly low in sugar.

    I love any brand of sweet tea vodka (i.e. Mothers, Jeremiah Weed) mixed with unsweetened tea. The unsweetened tea is 0 calories, and the vodka is 66 calories.

    My favourite drink is definitely vodka & soda with a heavy squeeze of lemon over lots of ice.

    I do the vodka and soda and add a little crystal lite (I prefer the lemonade). I alternate this with a plain soda + lemonade and nobody knows the difference.

    Gin and slimline tonic is about 56 cals :smile:

    There are some really good low calorie wines out there too. Banrock Station do low cal varieties in red, wine and rose. I think they are about 60 cals per 125ml glass.

    Vodka, lime and water. Prevents a hangover too coz the water keeps you hydrated :)

    I drink malibu and diet coke when I'm being strict on the diet - only 1/2 a weight watchers point (the old system) so it's guilt free!
