    Water or soda water.

    If my friends really wanted to treat me, they'd know not to take me to a bar, anyway. I much prefer coffee, during daylight hours.

    Well I'm useless when I go out, I love a good scotch (or a cheap scotch with coke!) I go out maybe twice a year for my partners work events and they always have free champagne. I always end up dancing till my feet fall off so I think it evens itself out!

    Jager, tequila, and or beer if I'm on a night out with friends. It doesn't happen that often so I enjoy it when I do. For a normal lunch or dinner out I always drink water or unsweetened tea.

    diet coke or coke zero, if out at a bar I'll get MgD64 if they have it. I just tried pomegranite vodka and tonic water for 64 cals/oz for the vodka and it was wonderful!

    As long as I log it then I don't really mind. I tend to stick to diet soda now, but if it is alcoholic, then a bottle of Budweiser normally fits the bill.

    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.....

    hahahahahaha! This is exactly my problem!

    I've never seen it at a bar, but if you pregame I suggest Beck's light beer. Only 64 calories per bottle.

    If you have alcohol, clear is lower in sugar and calories (vodka, gin). Someone already mentioned to use soda water. I use this as my blend (tonic has sugar) with lime.

    Right now my favorite drink is Skyy vodka & water-then I'll add about 1/2 a packet of crystal light. If I am going to splurge-I want a bloody beer (beer with bloody mary mix) or a red wine....

    I hear that :)

    I don't go out much these days though, I stick to red wine at home.

    Always Jameson or Jack Daniels and diet coke, apart from the very occasional cocktail.

    And good red wine in restaurants.

    When I go out with friends at night, I know all hope is lost to make healthy choices LOL
    Normally I'll get a double shot of Jager, and a few Yuengling's

    Water... I don't generally like alcohol anyway (I get a headache before I feel anything else), and it's so many empty calories so I just skip it.

    HI I have gotten accustom to drinking water. I have lemon on the side. I have about 80 more pounds to lose so I have to cut as many calories as possible:laugh:

    water, i don't drink a lot when i am eating, so i don't like to waste money on something that i'm only gonna drink a little bit of... not a big pop drinker anyhow.... unless there is fresh squeezed lemonade, then i'm all about that!!
    rarely i will have an alcoholic drink and if someone else is buying, i wait til they either suggest one, or order one themselves.

    There are some pretty tasty flavored vodka options out there. Mix with your favorite low cal mixer like soda water or diet sprite or diet 7-Up. I have found Absolut Orient Apple and diet Vernors to be an excellent choice and low cal :)

    I like the skinny girl peach margarita at home! If out I am a total whiskey girl but I try to stick by the rule whiskey, water, whiskey, water.

    I haven't had any alcohol in months, but on those rare occasions of going out, I always get a beer. (Dark lager, to be precise, no ales or pilsners for me) Hard liquor is icky and makes me want to vomit. :tongue:

    Vodka with seltzer water and lime (tonic water has calories) or 7 and (diet) 7 if they have diet 7 up (the first 7 is seagrams 7 crown whiskey if anyone was confused) or whiskey/rum and diet coke. I try to avoid light beer.

    Mio or any water flavoring packett and a good vodka. Most water flavoring products are calorie free and most vodkas are 90 calories per ounce or something like that

    Cherry Coke, regular. Can't stand diet soda! Unsweetened iced tea and ice water. I seriously don't like the taste of alcohol.

    I kinda blow it when the Sambuca comes out....and I just can't do the low-cal drinks...Vodka and scotch and whiskey (all with water) give me the WORST hang, or I just end up on top on the bar, (eek). I can only handle beer but it's definitely given me a gut. S'why I'm here!
