Every single Thursday and Friday night I go out to either a party or the bar and drink with friends. I don't get drunk much but I know that alcohol is a lot of calories and I am not sure how to go about this without ruining my diet. I also do not want to not drink at all. I was thinking if I could just eat a lot less and cut down on my drinking each night coming out with about 1300 calories total with the food and alcoholic beverages for the days I drink, do you guys think that would work? Would I still lose weight? Please let me know what u all think. Oh and is it better to drink lite beer or coconut rum with diet coke- I really do not like beer but if it is better I could try changing my mind.
Don't forget that alcohol will also cause water retention, especially beer. Wine is less high in calories, but higher in alcohol content - you might drink less. Another option is club soda/seltzer. If at a bar, get it in glass w/lime and you will feel like you have a drink in your hand, but NO CALORIES.
I really am not sure I ever tried club soda before. I still like the taste of an actual drink. I wish there was a low calorie alcohol out there. Would solve my problems for sure.

I never even tried a seltzer before. Would that taste ok with something as strong as vodka? I could try it. I did find out most bars around here have Diet Sierra Mist so I have been having that with Malibu rum or Rasberry UV vodka. I still never found out how many calories or carbs either of these shots have. I have been looking online forever and find nothing! If anyone knows, please let me know. I just really am worried that I am drinking more than I know.
