ok, well i haven't had a drink in 3 weeks, i've been eating super healthy and working out every day, i've dropped 13 lbs. but tomorrow I'm going up to a party at a collage and might want to drink a little, but don't wanna chug beers. and shit with a million calories. how good is wine? or maybe some hard alcohol. i don't want to drink soda tho so it would have to taste good with Gatorade or something...


any suggestions?

[Juballharshaw]

Wine is always good for you, especially your heart as you age. If you're watching calories drinking Gatorade outside of working out is kind of counter productive as it's loaded with sugar.

Drink some light beer and mix your liquor with something low calorie or diet and you should be good.

Do yourself up a good Caeser. I think of it as more of alcoholics breakfast sort of drink, but really it's good any time. Seems health to me, relatively speaking.

• 4oz Clam Tomato Juice
  
• 1 oz. vodka
• Celery stalk
• 2 tsp. Lime juice
• pepper to taste
• salt to taste
• 1 Dash Tabasco® Hot Pepper Sauce
• 2 Dashes Worcestershire ® Sauce

You could get some nice scotch or rye and drink it on the rocks. Hard alcohol itself doesn't have alot of calories.

or just mix any hard alcohol with a diet drink. (if you can handle of the terrible taste) Its not great if your on a diet in itself, but drinking it now and then won't hurt.

simple, just work out more.



I second the scotch/whiskey idea, I love a good scotch/rocks

Diet Coke and Bacardi light...good shit. no calories, no sugar, no carbs.

Drink G2 for rehydration

Tequila + Flavored Vodka + Cranberry Juice = Excellent

[Cr@cKpiPe tE@sEr noOb!]

Yea, I second the diet coke and rum. I used to go out drinking with some people that were pretty weight conscious and thats what they'd drink.

He said he was going to a party at a college... are you all expecting a bartender or something? All the college parties I went to had Icehouse, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller Lite, or Natty Ice kegs with some sort of fruit punch vodka/everclear/piss combo.

And smirnoff if you went anywhere and asked for that drink they'd probably ask you to leave.

Also- don't bring wine unless it's a dinner party. Vodka is full of calories and so is the soda you'll mix it with. The only way you'll be able to stay on your diet and drink is to replace food with alcohol which isn't worth it. Guinness is one of the lowest calorie beers out there, lower than lite beers. I suggest compensating your partying with working out a little harder before and after instead of trying to avoid drinking healthy.

That's a Bloody Mary. Fucking nasty, most people I know only drink them on dares or when they're already drunk.

Just drink a few lite beers and don't worry too much about it.

You can't go wrong with the piss combo. But seriously, have a good time. You've got your metabolism going now and it will eat right through whatever you put in your body for just one day. I lost 40 pounds and now I eat and drink whatever I want from Friday night to Sunday morning. Back in the gym Sunday and never gain an ounce.

*Bloody Marys are only good if you have to do the hair of the dog early in the day, like for a Kentucky Derby party.

It comes down to calories in the end. Drink hard liquor on the rocks or w/ water....or straight up if you are hardcore .

[mistawiskas]

Drinking anything with alcohol in it to excess is not a healthy drink even if you cut it with "the elixor of the gods". Alcohol is a toxin and can't be concidered healthy. it has been said that wine has therapeutic qualities. But the amounts that are discribed to obtain the benefit are paltry to say the least. Definately not the amounts you'd consume at a party. concider this also: if you pick up a drink of alcohol, the fact that you "quit for three weeks" will mean nothing and can be concidered the same as quitting smoking for three weeks and having a smoke at a party. The process of "quit"ing has to be started all over again. Only you know how easy or hard it was to not drink for that three weeks. if it was easy, I say go for it, if it was hard, it'll be harder to quit again after the party. Your choice. But don't kid yourself.
