alcohol

[Momma2threegirls]

I am going to a gala event at soldier's field tomorrow. i have had no alcohol since starting atkins in June but would like to have a drink. What are my best choices. I used to drink Amaretto Stone Sour's and I KNOW theya re not carb friendly!

Ideas???

Re: alcohol

Gin and tonic, make sure the tonic is sugar-free.
Cuba libre---make sure they use diet Coke.
Manhattan
Martini --- the classic style

Wine is an alternative, but be sure to drink only about 5 ounces because the carb count for 5 ounces is about 3 net carbs for white or red.

I understand vodka has no carbs (I'm not drinking right now, so it's not something I've thought about much).

Pair that with some sugar-free tonic with lime or lemon... sounds refreshing, really.

Ya, I usually go for a vodka/soda when I drink alcohol. Any of the hard liquors like tequila, gin, vodka etc are all fine. The real issue for me is always the mixer and club soda or diet soda usually works well for me Have fun!

Re: alcohol

i usually drink diet coke, vodka and lime... but I warn you.. watch how many you drink because when I get this I can barely taste the alcohol so I drink them incredibly fast. :P. Also sometimes i choose a low carb frozen margarita... tequilla, lime juice, lemon juice ,a little splenda ... good luck
