What is your favorite diet-friendly, non-carbonated alcoholic drink?



Recommended Posts

I'm not a big drinker but when I go out, I tend to drink things like Mudslides and White Russians, or I'll have an Amaretto Sour or a glass of wine. I stay away from carbonation, of course. I'm curious to learn what your favorite alcoholic drinks are, post-banding. Whatcha got?! (I'm going out tonight, so I need ideas! Heh.:rolleyes::rolleyes:)

I really missed my bourbon and coke....so, after a few weeks, I let a coke go flat and added the bourbon. It tasted really good! This from a gal that used to pour flat coke down the drain!!!:rolleyes:

I don't even miss carbonated drinks any more. Used to be hooked on diet Dr.Pepper. I haven't had one since my surgery 10 months ago......Hey, I think I might let one go flat and see how it goes.

Another favorite summertime alcoholic drink is a Mai-Tai. I have a marvelous recipe for them. Yummy!!:rolleyes:

My favorites are the ones you listed, minus the wine...I don't like wine at all.

A nice Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir is my choice. In fact, tonight will be the first time since beginning my pre-op diet on 4/9 that I will indulge in anything alcoholic and a bottle of Cab has already been picked out. :rolleyes:

For me it's red wine in the winter and margaritas in the summer. Cheers!

That's another great drink and can be diet-friendly when made from scratch instead of with the high-calorie mixes that most bars and restaurants use. Much tastier too in my opinion.

... margaritas in the summer. Cheers!

Amaretto Sours have always been my all-time favorite, then Daquiri's and Pina-Colada's.

Had some shots last year called Washington Apples that were out of this world!!

But I thought we couldn't have alcohol with the band. Not sure where I heard that from but for some reason I just thought we couldn't.

The Cranberry Vodka sounds good too. I might try that.

Bloody Marys are my favorite but I've had a beer or two since being banded and had no problem. I think Coor's light is only 100 calories. But I could only drink one because of the carbonation. I felt really full after drinking it. But it didn't hurt me or anything. Cheers!

I really only drink wine.

I drink both white and red but stick to white when I'm out as red wine makes my teeth go grey, it looks really ugly, lol.

I dont drink any spirits and I've never been into cocktails - too fattening, too expensive.

I can be tempted into a Baileys or Drambui late at night too.

I was banded 4 days ago, and I have to go out next week. When I go to the bar, I am going to order cranberry juice by itself...and pretend its a vodka cran! No one will be the wiser!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
