Low calorie alchoholic drinks

It's obviously too late now, but for future, friends of mine doing weight watchers always used to drink gin and slim-line tonic or vodka and diet coke...

HTH

Why's it too late? Sah's right, I drink Gin and slimline tonic or vodka and slimline tonic. H drinks Vodka and diet vimto but obv. when you go out diet coke would be easy to get. Avoid alcopops and avoid wine.

Martini is very low if you have it with diet lemonade but again diet lemonade isn't that easy to get when you're out.

Is wine that bad? I always think it's a better choice than the other drinks I like (lager, Bailey's). I guess it's because I only need 2 large glasses and I'm on the floor, whereas I can drink 6 pints of lager and not feel as pissed.

well I guess it does depend on how much you drink but one very often leads to 2,3,4 and it's quite high then. You can limit it/make it go further by adding soda but I'm not good at drinking it with other things, I like it as it comes. 2 large glasses would still be quite high compared to a spirit and low cal mixer.

I have got fat before when I drank a lot of wine actually... although I had takeaways a fair bit too, and junk food when I was hungover (Saturdays and Sundays) and I had lager too on a Sat night, so it was part of an unhealthy lifestyle (temporary one!) rather than just the wine. I'm thin now and I drink wine ?

250ml glass of wine (large) would be about 180 cals, as opposed to a gin which would be 55cal. Low in comparison with your Baileys though lol!

I loves the wine, too. And the Magners cider. However, I am a porker who is trying to lose weight so I drink vodka, lime and soda water. S'lovely.

I'd have a double though maybe and could easily drink 5 of those. When I was dieting I wanted maximum pissed-ness for my calories , and that was wine ? I remember looking up Bailey's when I was doing WW (Operation Starvation) and one was 4 points which was the same as 4 slices of bread!

250ml wine is three units though while a single gin is one unit, so in terms of the alcohol:calories ratio there's not that much difference.

On WW, Pimms & diet lemonade is the lowest I've seen. 4 glasses of that equals about 1 medium (175ml) glass of wine.

Vodka, lime and soda is 76 calories. Vodka with a diet mixer is about 52 calories. A whole bottle of dry white wine is about 550 calories. A pint of lager is about 200 calories. Not that I know anything about this you understand.

If they don't have diet lemonade I have soda instead which is just a nice imho.

? at Mrs Winkle.

I was shocked when I did WW years ago to discover that a small glass of wine, a shot of clear spirit and a half of 'normal' lager were all 1 point....

I struggle with what to drink as well as I'm trying to lose weight. I get too pissed to quickly on wine, spirits make my IBS worse, and also they're a very short drink. So I end up drinking bottles of lager which I know isn't going to help me lose my gut!
