kate85 6 Posted August 29, 2013 Just wondering I am off to the races and I am wondering what is the lowest calorie and best alcohol beverage to drink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louloumoo 22 Posted August 29, 2013 Any spirit is low cal, mixes r the problem.. I usually drink soda, but can't anymore... Maybe Water and a dash of cordial maybe lemon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lellow 1,713 Posted August 29, 2013 I drink vodka and dry ginger ale and it works out to be about 160 cals for one standard drink, and in some cases the cals are less than vodka and tonic Water with a slice of lemon. It's crazy that I even know that considering I don't count calories at all. 2 catfish87 and PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BayougirlMrsS 3,935 Posted August 29, 2013 I normally drink wine... but if i do the "hard" stuff.. i try and stick with the Crown and Water with a splash of 7up. Or i do Parrot bay rum with peach orchard juice... 3 catfish87, Dbackfan and PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBT222 51 Posted August 29, 2013 Not sure of the calorie content but I usually go for gin and tonic or just a dirty martini. Not a lot of mixer in either and you can sip on them for a while to make them last. I know for me, post banded, there isn't as much to soak up the alcohol so you become a bit more of a lightweight than in the past. 1 Dbackfan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfish87 3,471 Posted August 29, 2013 Bud Select "55" = ( 55 cal ) so only 330 cal's for a six pack! Bourbon = A 1-ounce serving of bourbon weighs 28 grams, has 10 g of alcohol and provides 70 calories. Wine = ( about 540 cal ) depending on your choice. for the bottle of course! who has 4 ounces?!?? Wine (4 fl oz serving) Calories Beaujolais 95 Bordeaux, red 95 Burgundy, red 95 Burgundy, white 90 Cabernet Sauvignon 90 Chablis 85 Champagne, dry 105 Champagne, pink 100 Chardonnay 90 Chianti 100 Liebfraumilch 85 Madeira 160 Marsala 80 Merlot 95 Mosell 100 Muscatel 160 Port, ruby 185 Port, white 170 Reisling 90 Rhone 95 Rose 95 Sangria 115 Sauterne 115 Sauvignon Blanc 80 Tokay 165 Zinfandel, red 90 Zinfandel, white 80 6.36 four ounce servings in a 750ml (25.36 oz) Mulitply the serving calorie number by 6.36 and you will have your bottle calorie count. http://www.efficientdrinker.com/wine/ 1 KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catfish87 3,471 Posted August 29, 2013 No Moscato?? HA! I am too lazy to type all that...it was copy and paste! So.....just for you Moscato drinkers. "There are around 780 calories per bottle of Moscato wine." 2 backpacking5 and KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyThick1 1,860 Posted August 29, 2013 Since I've been banded, I don't really care for alchol anymore. The three times I've tried social drinking, I've ended up throwing away money because I don't want it after just a few sips. I've heard this from a few other people so far.

kate85 6 Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks everyone. I am gonna try vodka with lipton diet iced tea peach flavour. You can drink 250ml for only 2cal and then just add the vodka calories. So quiet low if I added it up right. Does anyone know how many calories vodka has just by itself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
