    Thought it would be fun to list some good low cal drinks for those of us watching our calories. I personally love vodka and water with a squirt of Mio in it...mmmm ;) Otherwise I resort to my old standby of Diet Coke and Captain Morgan. What's your favorite low cal drink?

    This is one area I don't tend to watch my calories. I'm a bevvie lover and I don't mess with them, lol. I guess the lowest are vodka and cranberry, depending on the juice you use. Is wine low calorie? lol.

    I don't think there's something like a low cal alcoholic drink. There are, however, drinks with more alcohol per gram than others though! Alcohol is sort of a nutrient, per say, like proteins and carbs and fat, all of them have fixed amounts of calories per gram. Alcohol is actually second with 7cal/g so actually the less alcohol the drink has the less calories too! :) Beers are a good "low cal" beverage for this matter, so I'll say my favorite is definitively beer!

    I don't really have a favourite low-calorie alcoholic beverage because the alcohol with the lowest calories are the spirits and I don't like spirits. I don't mind calorie with mixer but the mixer adds more calories.
