      Vodka, water & lime juice will be less damaging.

          If you have too drink I would drink Gin and Tonic or maybe a dry martini. Avoid drinks with juice in them

              I usually have a rum or tequila and diet soda. As long as the rum isn't flavored like spiced rum. Actually I have only had one drink since August. But thats what I had

                  Yes, spirits are good as have zero carbs. The only set back is that your body burns the alcohol as fuel before it can start again on burning fat. Drink with diet cola/lemonade. Don't have too many though, diet drinks still have a small amount of carb from sweetner and you don't want your body burning the alcohol instaed of the fat for very long do you? Am I also right that too much sweetner causes a laxitive effect?

                      um, sodas are not made with the sugar alcohols that cause the laxative business..

                      But the sweeteners can cause stalls.

                      I drink vodka & soda (club soda) with lime.

                      Another point - Tonic has sugar. Unless you go looking for the diet tonic, which most bars do not keep. So the Gin and Tonic is really not such a great option.
