| Figure I can eat or drink, so I want to drink. Wine & beer are out of the question I think. What can I order at a bar, any mixed drinks? Nothing with Diet coke, yuck. |

| Nothing. All alcohol turns to sugar in the body. |

| Take mixed drinks off the menu, empty calories. |

| The correct answer is C) Exercise and moderation. |

| Something you can drink straight and sip. I'd think it's usually the mixers that have the calories. |

Glad you won't be at the party Saturday night. I'll exercise the other 6 days of the week. Someone said beer? Really? Would it have to be an ultra light beer? |

Alcohol itself has a fair amount of calories, so whatever you drink should be limited in quantity.
You mainly want to avoid sugary mixers. Maybe something like a white wine spritzer (white wine cut with soda water), or vodka with a low-calorie mixer? You can also go with a drink that is nearly all liquor, like a martini or Manhattan. It has a fair number of calories, but it only takes one to get the job done  .

Scotch on the rocks. The alcohol does have calories, but you can nurse this for a while. |

What would you suggest? usually I am a wine drinker, my experience with liquor is usually with a mixer. I do know that probably prefer something clear. Could a really high end tequila work? I've had some really shippable tequila, do bars usually have that? |

I lived in Czech Republic for two years. Two-four beers a day. No weight gain. Came back, move driving, less beer - working out to get those extra pounds off. It's about lifestyle. |

I'm looking for a one-nighter, not drinking every day. I've lost 40 pounds recently. The last time I went out & had 3 beers for the first time in 4 months the scale was 2 pounds heavier the next morning, it took a lot more than 1 night to lose it. |

| Vodka soda is probably the lowest calorie you can get. If you're serious about losing weight you should really just not drink-it is all empty calories and sugar. |

| Tequila soda water and limes. |
