...what's the lowest calorie way I can get my drunk on?

[shade]

there are a few zero calorie liquors. bacardi makes one. i think smirnoff makes one also.

shoot them =)

[time0000]

michalobe ultra? sry bout spelling!!!

[Shawn_E]

Dance while you drink then it won't matter, you'll be burning those calories and reducing risk of a hangover the next day.

liquor, you will get drunker faster, thus consuming less.

Have any more info?

[BuzzCat]

Bacardi & Diet Cola, like the commerical says.
Vanilla vodka & diet cola.
Vodka and sugar free redbull, only has a couple calories I think.

I like Bacardi Lemon and Club soda with a lemon and lime.

Not all liquor is calorie free. Rum has sugar.

[OhNoesIt'sJohn]

zero calorie liqours only count the sugars and the like...alcohol still has a caloric content.

for me, it's guinness...120 calories PER PINT and a whole slew of vitamins, protein(8grams per pint) and simple carbs. It's why it fills you up faster than light beers...i can drink like 20 light beers, but 6+ guinness is pushing it.

[Methodus]

Ok, there's 4 places to get calories:

Fat
Carbohydrates
Protein
Alcohol

Just because a certain alcoholic beverage doesnt have sugar, does not mean it does not have any calories.

[mattb]

What about Everclear? That’s got to be pretty low calorie...

[BuzzCat]

Yes, but it's still far better than beer, or mixed drinks with a lot of sugar.

[OhNoesIt'sJohn]

liquor, you will get drunker faster, thus consuming less.

unfotunately, no. One shot of liqour has the same caloric content as 1 beer. Mix in soda and the like, and you're hosed.

Guinness is the only way to go.

There was a thread about it on bodybuilding.com - the consensus was that liquor (straight up) was probably the best way to go, because you would probably end up consuming less. I love me some guiness though, so I can't disagree with ya!

Right, according to Atkins, the fake sugar doesn't have calories, but essentially does the same thing, raising your blood sugar levels, which isn't good. I hate diet drinks.

yeah well "0 calorie" has always been a marketing term, it's not really ever the case. but there are a number of name brand liquors that are shooting for the dieting market these days. they're not hard to find.

guinness would have been my second choice, actually. and i even usually find i get drunk quicker off those beers as well, for some reason.

as if i really needed a reason to drink more guinness <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/liamomalley/eire.gif">

Whether it's better for you from a scientific standpoint or not, I'd rather just have less of something that's made from real ingredients than more of something that's made from G-d knows what.

Then again I drink sodas regularly, so who am I kidding.

Cliff: A 40 of OE is definitely not low calorie.

That's bullshit. Yes, I've read the various articles, but I don't buy it. Diet soda has never raised my blood sugar.

However, I do believe that it slows down your metabolism.

its 95%ethanol 5% distilled water.
0% sugar, 0% calories.

i dont understand how hydrocarbons can have calories.
i mean calories burn, and so do hydrocarbons, but i thought calories came from burning sugars.

in retrospect however calories are calculated by lost weight of the substance after oxidation.
so i guess calories applies.
:themoreyouknow:
it def doesn't have any sugar in it, so any calories would be a "necessary evil"

[SCHLiTZ]

calorie is a measure of potential energy that an item has if it were burnt.

Yeah, that is absolutely true. We'd all be much healthier if we just ate good, un-saturated with sodium, no presevatives, no aspertamiabrotidiumasteyanate whatever sweetners, etc.. and did what would as a whole make us feel better: Eat right and exercise.

But, realisitically if someone wants to cut something out of part of their drinking diet, and isn't going to turn into a "health nut", I think that's better than doing nothing. You're going to get calories either way, and it's going to slow your metabolism, so removing some of the carbs isn't a bad idea.

[Methodus]

I dunno... I just avoid that shit regardless. If it slows down your metabolism either way, it's not good if you are on a cut.

I agree with you, I'm just saying I think it would be better to go for something like

Not to mention the natural colas taste pretty damn good.

[uberclkgtr]

Any dry beer is a good bet. If you like Guiness, go that route. But anything that isn't too "malty" will be low calorie, such as a dry stout.

For instance, Guiness has 126 calories (for a 12oz bottle), compared to Miller High Life which has 143 calories. High Life is a sweet beer (more sugar), and will thus be higher in calories. Guiness and High Life have the same alcohol content. You're less likely to drink several bottles (or pub draft cans) of Guiness too, unlike High Life. "Light" beers, which almost uniformly suck, usually come in around 110 calories, but they often have less alcohol. Reducing calories is often accomplished by reducing alcohol instead of reducing sugar, as reducing sugars in the beer will make it unbalanced in flavor.

So in addition to Guiness, other dry Irish stouts should be low alcohol, as are other dark beers that aren't too sweet. Also IPAs that are hoppy but not extremely alcoholic would be a good bet.

Of course the real solution is to not worry about it and just do sit-ups on alternate days that you drink. =)

Which also, btw, mixes well with vodka shots.

[OhNoesIt'sJohn]

just smoke more weed and drink water/natural fruit juices.

[madeofwires]

smoke crack



























:jk:

[uberclkgtr]

Tequila would be a good bet too. A high-quality tequila such as Don Julio or Cabo Wabo Anejo has about 65 calories per 1 oz shot. At 40% alcohol, that would be equivalent to drinking a 3.3% ABV beer. So for tequila, you get more alcohol per calorie than even low-calorie beers.

So sip fine tequila.

[Cliff]

sip


What's this "sip" you speak of?

[jukata]

my thoughts exactly. burn the calories before they enter your system ;)

just smoke more weed and drink water/natural fruit juices.

[The Logic Theorist]

What's this "sip" you speak of?

It's what pussies do with shots.

[uberclkgtr]

What's this "sip" you speak of?

sipping can be done quickly or slowly. the point of a sip is to extract as much flavor as possible from the liquid. with good tequila (or whisky or wine) this is a necessity.

Go for quality over quantity. All alcoholic beverages have calories, so choose a beer or liquor that makes you feel good, and make it worth it. You can easily balance a night of solid partying by putting in extra gym time and shaving excess calories off of the surrounding days. Speaking of food, if you eat less the day you're drinking, it should take less alcohol to get you to your...destination, or what have you.

BTW - The idea that passing out or sleeping after a meal being bad for you is a myth. I do it every night as part of my cut. In fact, I eat things that take even longer to break down, putting my body to work as I sleep, such as cottage cheese.
