What is your favorite diet-friendly, non-carbonated alcoholic drink?

[sawyer77 1]

I'm not a big drinker but when I go out, I tend to drink things like Mudslides and White Russians, or I'll have an Amaretto Sour or a glass of wine. I stay away from carbonation, of course. I'm curious to learn what your favorite alcoholic drinks are, post-banding. Whatcha got?! (I'm going out tonight, so I need ideas! Heh.:rolleyes:)

I really missed my bourbon and coke....so, after a few weeks, I let a coke go flat and added the bourbon. It tasted really good! This from a gal that used to pour flat coke down the drain!!!

I don't even miss carbonated drinks any more. Used to be hooked on diet Dr.Pepper. I haven't had one since my surgery 10 months ago......Hey, I think I might let one go flat and see how it goes.

Another favorite summertime alcoholic drink is a Mai-Tai. I have a marvelous recipe for them. Yummy!!

My favorites are the ones you listed, minus the wine...I don't like wine at all.

since the band I have drank cranberry vodka... Not sure of the calories or what not but seems ok to me..

A nice Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir is my choice. In fact, tonight will be the first time since beginning my pre-op diet on 4/9 that I will indulge in anything alcoholic and a bottle of Cab has already been picked out.

For me it's red wine in the winter and margaritas in the summer. Cheers!

[Katy517 1]

That's another great drink and can be diet-friendly when made from scratch instead of with the high-calorie mixes that most bars and restaurants use. Much tastier too in my opinion.

... margaritas in the summer. Cheers!

Amaretto Sours have always been my all-time favorite, then Daquiri's and Pina-Colada's.

Had some shots last year called Washington Apples that were out of this world!!

But I thought we couldn't have alcohol with the band. Not sure where I heard that from but for some reason I just thought we couldn't.

The Cranberry Vodka sounds good too. I might try that.

Bloody Marys are my favorite but I've had a beer or two since being banded and had no problem. I think Coor's light is only 100 calories. But I could only drink one because of the carbonation. I felt really full after drinking it. But it didn't hurt me or anything. Cheers!

I really only drink wine.

I drink both white and red but stick to white when I'm out as red wine makes my teeth go grey, it looks really ugly, lol.

I dont drink any spirits and I've never been into cocktails - too fattening, too expensive.

I can be tempted into a Baileys or Drambui late at night too.

I was banded 4 days ago, and I have to go out next week. When I go to the bar, I am going to order cranberry juice by itself...and pretend its a vodka cran! No one will be the wiser!!!!
