Question about ALCOHOL...

Coopie · Oct 11, 2006

I have a dinner meeting for work and I am sure we will be ordering drinks. What is my best option if I want an alcoholic beverage? I want something that will not kill my diet and I do not like wine.

How about diet coke and bacardi?

Any ideas?

The bicardi and diet coke would probably be alright. I rarely drink but when I do I like long island ice teas but I'm not sure if that would wreck your diet. Best bet would to just keep it moderate whatever you drink. Have fun and drink one for me.

Long Islands are horrible for a diet, as they contain alot of sugar. Go for Bacardi silver if you prefer rum, I personally stick to a good Vodka on the rocks or with a diet whatever.

Thats figures. Everything I like has a ton of sugar.

Vodka.

Just stick with tequila shots. It does the job quick and doesn't take too much.

Rum and diet or vodka rocks for me.

Well if your on juice , best option is not to drink at all , if you are going to drink , drink SLOW , dont stress your liver too much , eat some food with it , and last one , dont drink till you get passed out , it will definately affect your diet and training ( assuming that your on gear )

It is a dinner meeting for work and judging by his question I doubt he is going to get bombed...seems like he doesnt drink at all and thats why he is asking this question. Good advice anyway.

lol... Yea I guess some people go overboard... I was one of them but I cant stand hangovers which seem to last about 2 days for me now so I keep drinking to a minimum.

each gram of alcohol has 9 calories .. why not just have a few light beers?

JustWannaBeHuge · Oct 12, 2006

well, my question would be, what type of alcohol do you like? personally, when i used to drink, I would get jack and coke.

It really depends on your taste and how much alcohol you can tolerate though. I personally hate rum, it would always upset my stomach.

1 Smirnoff ICE had me tipsy and at work 15 hrs later the next day, my boss asked if I had been drinking because my face was so flushed.

I have NO tolerance...haha.

alcohol

vodka has the least amount of calories 40 per shot i think.

leap

ps.the sugar in drinks is what makes you sick when you drink and helps make hangovers worse.if you drink sugar drinks or straight and lots of water before bed you will not have a hangover.

how about.....

no thank you, i don't drink...........no apologies, no explanations.

joshbarnett · Oct 12, 2006

actually, alcohol has 7 calories

Coopie · Oct 12, 2006

I rarely drink, and when I do it's usually with friends and I prefer a few Coronas. Even at 200 lbs, because I drink so rarely, it only takes maybe 3 or 4 beers to get me good and loaded!

But for a work event people generally order "drinks", not beer. So that's why I was asking the question. Sure, I could say "No thanks...", but I always say that. No harm in a few drinks with co-workers and clients every now and again - and true, I am not going to get blasted, I am planning on ordering one - MAYBE two drinks - and then calling it a night.

So far the Stoli Vanilla and Diet Ginger Ale sounds really good.

Thanks for the adivce everyone. Lots of drinkers here I see!
