Doing the low carb thing and am cutting the caffeine, particularly after lunch. At home I drink crown and diet sprite, but nobody carries diet sprite. What are some drinks I can order at the bar? I don't like tonic water. I am a long time beer drinker, so ordering a whiskey on the rocks will get consumed way too fast. Preferably nothing too girly. Thanks

At the launch for new Disney series ‘Extraordinary’, guests got to enjoy a cocktail called a Jizzlord, a blend of Jameson, Disaronno Velvet and banana liqueur. Sounds tempting!https://t.co/RACbazrwNK pic.twitter.com/Ti3uZAuv5c

that is what I have switched to when I would normally drink beer. I haven't really seen this at nice places. Or are you talking about having the bar tender make one, not the canned variety?AustinCountyAg said:

Vodka soda.
Doesn't tonic water have sugar in it anyways?

Bartender can make em
Topo Chico, tequila, and lime

Agreed. I haven't been anywhere in a good while where the bartenders didn't either know the drink or could make it by me describing it.digging tunnels said:

Scotch and soda.
thats actually a lot of caloriesProc92 said:

Iced tea
Tequila and Powerade zero and Topo
230 versus 250 for vodka and scotch. Not much difference. Besides, it's a great drink and good enough for Churchill.
Or rum, club soda and lime. Good summertime drink.aznaggiegirl07 said:thats actually a lot of caloriesProc92 said:

Where are you getting 230 for vodka club soda and lime?
Yeah, I don't see how there's much difference between the two. Soda is soda and liquor is pretty much liquor when it comes to calories.
club soda has no calories, essentially carbonated waterbam02 said:

Yeah that's my point.
Edit to say that I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that when we are referring to soda, we mean club soda.
Similar to a lot of the above. When we were dieting and lost 65 pounds over the course of a year plus, I'd just drink vodka, topo chico, and lime when out at a bar. At home or with dinner it'd be a dry wine.
But, even then, we'd limit alcohol to under 4 drinks a month.

Most places are going to make your ranch water with club soda from the gun in the bar.
What kind of bar are you talking about? Wine an option? Just get a dry wine and that'll be an easy path.

From my local pub to the bar at a nice place. My goto for non beer was Captain and Diet, but now I am supposed to lay off the caffeine. Probably going to try the scotch and soda, then will see about the ranch water. Sucks getting old and falling apart.
I understand everyone has different goals. But, in general, if you're trying to be healthier cut out the alcohol. Doesn't matter what your diet plan is, you'll be healthier not drinking rum and diet soda or whiskey and diet sprite……
I don't really care that those drinks are carb free. You'll never convince me they aren't terrible for you, especially the mixers.

No *****!? Thanks man. Had no idea.
Reminds me of Jack Black ordering food
Well sorry, but not sure what you were expecting when asking for recommendations. Topo Chico, soda water, water, etc are going to be the only "healthy" mixers. In general, drinks are empty calories/carbs.
Martini
Vodka/Soda/Lime
Vodka/Soda/Lime
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

Lol. You came here asking for people's input and opinions, OP.
Just order a vodka water with lime and call it done, seems to be what you're looking for. I did that for a while once, but it's not the greatest. I think just moderation of whatever drink you prefer is probably going to serve better than continuously ordering something "light".
Alcohols are not a health beverage, some have fewer carbs or sugars, but that's about it.

I'll echo and add, maybe change the habits to Thursday through Sunday? I've been more or less on that for a while now and am 95% of the time dry on MTW.

Where did I ask for health advice? The thread title kinda spells out what I was asking for.

I don't like Topo Chico either (or any carbonated water) but the tequila and lime masks the flavor really well. Especially if a candied Jalapeño is added. Tastes so good
That's fine. What was suggested by another poster wasn't really health advice, but more of a different way to get your same goal.Milwaukees Best Light said:that is a statement, not a question.Chipotlemonger said:Health thing quoted for posterity.Milwaukees Best Light said:

I reread the whole post. Since you can't find diet sprite anywhere, just do crown and diet 7up or whatever other lemon lime sweetened diet drink you can find. Or, crown with seltzer water and lime juice.
