So, I was wondering what you guys drink when you go out with friend at night. last night my friend was treating me for help, I did not know what to order. very rarely I have some alcohol drink, sometimes I just order coke or similar.. But last night it took me a while to decide..

What do you order?

    Usually a small beer or wine (which ever one I feel like) and I alternate with plain (i.e. unflavoured) soda water. Soda water is a great option when you are out - you have a glass with ice, lemon and a straw so people don't know if you are drinking alcohol or not and you might be less likely to get harassed about drinking (if that is an issue for you)

    Socially I order water or unsweetened iced tea. I'm responsible for what goes in my body and I don't want to throw off my calories, blood sugar or weight loss.

    Usually just a glass of red wine or sangria, then water, water, water. I like the idea of soda water but I don't like the taste as much as plain water. You can always ask for lime or lemon to add some flavor.

    I usually mix it up between jack daniels and diet coke and pints of lager. I am a lager drinker at home so I like to get jack daniels sometimes when I get to go out.

    Im usually miffed I'm out late at night - anything past 10 really irritates me...so I'll make my SO order me Shirly Temples because it's just my passive aggressiveness at it's best. Yep, walk up to the bar and get me unlimited Shirly Temples upon my request because you made me go out with you. with the cherries, don't forget the cherries.

    :D

    It depends on what I'm in the mood for, but usually I drink Guiness, and only one or two since beer can pack up the calories. But I read in Eat This, Not That! that Guiness was the best beer to drink. Not a lot of people like it, but ever since I tried it on tap, it's always my preference!

    Diet coke and rum or tequilla. Or a glass of dry white wine. When I have used my alcohol calorie quota, it's sparkling water with lemon and a stirrer. No one needs to know it's not alcoholic

    Usually just water. But if it's a special occasion, I don't hold back!

    small glass of dry white wine but have discovered becks blue which is quite nice (i think anyway!) and much better for the waist line. Most people don't realise I'm not drinking either so no hassle about having a drink!

    diet coke and vanilla vodka is great! also, citron vodka and iced tea is very refreshing!

    I'm trying hard to resist wine as that is my favourite tipple. I find that deciding before hand what I'm going to drink and how much, then sticking rigidly to my decision is the only way I can stop myself from becoming tempted into something else! Diet Coke is generally my safe option.

    EVERYTHING!!!! I'm not very good at moderation when I'm out.... :blushing:

    I usually start with good intentions and have gin slimline tonic or vodka diet coke saying I'll only have a couple then I'll go onto just slimline tonic or diet coke but after a few I'll generall start on tequilla and jager and it's all downhill form there.....

    Water, very occasionally an apple or pineapple juice (I really prefer cranberry juice but most places don't serve it!)

    I just say that I'm the designated driver and no one argues these days.

    Besides, I can't dance if I've been drinking.

    I'm actually trying to stop drinking for the time being at least. I haven't been out yet to test my willpower, but I imagine I will probably choose diet coke, orange juice and diet soda, or just plain sparkling water.
    Tbh, when it's hot like it is now, a nice cold refreshing water based drink is far more appreciated than an alcoholic one which just makes you more dehydrated.

    If we go out to a pub I will get a pint of Fosters, Carling, Karlsburg etc. I like that "light beer" taste...haha. And in a pint is only about 220 calories which isn't horrible I guess :)

    If I go out at night or whatever I usually (aka always haha) order a shot of Jack Daniels on the rocks, mixers are usually what bumps the calories up...

    Dry red wine.

    Rum/Vodka & Orange or Jack Daniel's & Diet Coke if I'm just having a few drinks, if it's a big night out then I stick to Vodka & Diet Coke. Tbh though I drink veryyy rarely now, it's half the reason I became the weight I am! Would use to down jagerbombs, high calorie shots, and full fat coke with mixers.. so that's -not- the way to go aha :)

    Always spirits (either rum or vodka depending on whether rum is stupid expensive at the particular place I'm going to) with diet coke

    Soda water and lime usually. I am not really a drinker, but on the odd occasion that I do it is either Disoronno or Tia Maria on the rocks, sipped slowly :wink:
