Alcoholic Beverages

  • I am going out with one of my friends tonight and I am sure almost everyone is going to be drinking. I want to join in and have a few drinks because I like too, but I am don't want to jeopardize my calorie count today either. I saved some room for a few hundred calories. What is a low calorie alcholic beverage, not a beer?
  • i don't know the calorie count but one of my friends who is losing weight drinks gin & tonics a lot. I tend to stick with beer. Mojitos are supposed to be relatively low cal as well (original mojitios, if you get flavored ones the liquors add lots of calories)
  • 4 oz white wine 90 calories
    vodka tonic 165 calories
    gin martini 140 calories
    Bacardi and coke 160 calories
    Cosmopolitan 215 calories
    Margarita 160 calories
  • Vodka is 70 calories per shot. If you pair that with diet coke, its pretty good. Or use flavored vodka for something a little more fun.

    A washington apple shouldn't be too bad. Its Whiskey, Sour Pucker and Cranberry juice. A little high calorie wise, but its not a chugging drink so it should last longer

    You should be ok assuming you keep your mixers in check. Avoid full-sugared sodas, grenadine or simple syrup when at all possible.
  • rum and diet (coke).... it's like 70ish calories!
  • I love Absolut Vanilla and Diet Coke. The vodka is 69 calories per ounce, a drink or two (or three or... ) isn't going to bust your calories for the day!
  • I agree with all of the suggestions above - and I've also always heard to avoid dark liquors (so stick with clear vodkas and tequilas). I'm not sure why...but that's what "they" say.
