Vodka. You can call it a Martini if you add some low cal juice and a splash of liquor.

Otherwise Vodka Tonics are refreshing in summer and a low cal option.

So far, evidence suggests women that consume alcohol gain less weight.

I just bought a bottle of this Skinny Girl Margarita. Here’s the link. I haven’t tried it yet but it sure sounds like a great invention!

@woodcutter, we used to call water “corporation pop” when we were kids. “Corporation” was the word used for the council, the provider of our tap water. “Pop” is a British word for soft drink.

“Corporation pop” is indeed a low calorie drink and if chilled and served with ice and lemon is delicious.

Vodka with a dash of diet 7up or something along those lines.

Alcohol has a lot of calories so it has to be something non-alcoholic. I’ll go with @filmfann and pick either coffee or tea, without milk or sugar. Calorie-free and a lot tastier than corporation pop!

If you are trying to cut calories from your booze you either have and drinking problem or something much worse.

And I like Gin and Pink Lemonade.

Trying to cut calories, period. I still want to drink booze.

A noble goal. Just work them off in the morning.

@Bellatrix Indeed. Our water is great and I consider us lucky. Some water in other places is nasty to drink but our town has well water ,not from a lake that frogs and fish dump in, or weekenders in their jet skis zoom around on. It’s what we were all designed to consume from an evolutionary standpoint.

Bourbon and diet Coke.

Back when I was a drinker I would always get JD and Diet Coke only because D.C. was what was handy. It didn’t taste right but back in those days I didn’t care….about taste. It was the power I was after…..the power.
