Blame it on the Alcohol!!

I am a victim... a victim to the allure of alcohol. I surprisingly have a love for beer, love it and trying new and different kinds is interesting to me and I love the process of creating beer itself, however it is not my drink of choice. I am also not one to ever ever turn down a good glass of pinot noir, I like white wine as well as long as it is not to sweet (sweet is meant for dessert people!) But my absolute downfall

RUMMMMM! 


Yep I can't help myself if a drink has rum in it, but thats going to have to change. I am going out tomorrow night, as I do almost every Wednesday to my favorite fun place with great drink specials on wednesday. I always go with Gene and a few of our mutual friends. It has become a ritual over the past two years that helps me get through the week. I have been doing a lot of research to find low calorie drinks and I do not want to mess up my diet. So here is what I have found out...

The best options: (one standard size drink)

Vodka/ Soda - 65 calories
Vodka/ Diet- 65 calories
Southern Comfort/ Diet Lemonade- 48 calories
Jack/ Diet - 64 calories
Rum/Diet- 85 calories
Champagne - 85 calories

Surprisingly my favorite Rum/Diet soda is 85 calories but I think I am going to try Vodka/Soda tomorrow night. I might also cut back my calories tomorrow to make up for the inevitable drink or two I will be having!
