what alcoholic drinks do you still enjoy?

I'm not a huge drinker but occasionally would like to enjoy a drink or two on a night out with the hubby. I don't like wine and obviously I avoid carbonation. I have tried a few mixed drinks but they are too sweet and upset my stomach, help! I need suggestions!

Anything without carbonation. I know of one bander who drinks a shot of vodka in raspberry Crystal light.

Coconut rum from bacardi and lite cranberry juice. Yummo!!

When I go out with my girlfriends I usually drink raspberry vodka with water and a kind wedge :)

Lime wedge haha.

Thanks everyone minus the person who felt the need to tell me none bc they want to lose! Obviously I'm pretty successful if I've lost 63 pounds in five months and I think its ok to enjoy a drink every once in awhile.

I like Skinny Girl vodka mixed with crystal light. There are a ton of flavor combinations you can do with that. If I were to order at a bar/restaurant, then I would probably get a vodka cranberry, margarita, or whiskey sour. You can ask the bartender for suggestions on non-carbonated mixed drinks based on your particular tastes, they love that kind of stuff.

All of them...including Beer!

Sunday we went out to dinner...had two Bloody Mary's while waiting in the bar for our table......

It's a lifestyle...all my skinny friends are not afraid to have alcohol from time to time....but if you are just starting out, you need to develop and get to that new lifestyle...does not happen overnight.

Martinis! Love em!

Spanish coffees and Piña Coladas...

I like cosmos the sometimes have skinny versions.

so u drink beer as well. did i read that right

I'm mainly a wine drinker, and white at that (red makes my teeth gray, lol).

The other night I did have a lime, coconut and lychee margarita at a Mexican restaurant. Omg,it was delicious but the iciness closed off my band and the margarita ended up being my dinner.
