Lowest calorie alcohol?

potsofmoney_(I_wish)

Hi all,
I am determined to get rid of another 2 stone and have been doing a mixture of slimming world and general low fat eating. I never drink during the week but at the weekend I do like a glass of wine, usually rose or red. I know how high calorie wine is and would like to still have a drink but shave off as many calories as possible. Any ideas?

TIA

I think clear spirits are lowest in calories so stuff like bacardi or vodka with diet coke / lemonade. I think it's still about 50kcal a shot though so i'd normally pick a biscuit as a treat instead

A glass of champagne is about 70-90 Cal Too expensive for normal though. Weight watchers do little bottles. I'm not sure what the calorie count is though, but might be worth checking.. That they are small bottles is possibly also useful if its just you, just once a week

Shots. All around 50kcals per shot, including pimms. Get a Pimms and DIET lemonade if your after more volume then a single shot.

I second the Pimms as a good choice. Aldi's version (Austin's) is half the price and just as good, to do it the truly MSE way

i'm told vodka and soda water... can't imagine it tastes nice though!

how about just taking alternate weekends off alcohol instead? i have nights of sparkling water - cheaper, less calories and means i can drive if needed and avoid a 'taxi' decision after a few drinks so i save money there too!

what about weightwatchers wine, the rose is quite nice

Spirits topped up with whatever low cal mixer you prefer are the way to go. Lots of ice, slice of lemon, make it last.

My fave drink is white wine - you can make it in to a long spritzer with soda or diet lemonade to make it last longer and hopefully drink less.

The best way is not to drink alcohol at all, but that's a step too far!!!
