Re: Hi....I'm new and sad and I...
I'm the guy in my crowd who can't drink martinis and hates cigars.
If I had a clue what to mix with rum or vodka that was not carby, I'd be all over it, but I can't drink them straight. How about a Meatini? Did I just invent that?
So I just had dinner -- ribeye steak, lettuce and cucumber salad with balsalmic viagrette, glass of pinot grigio (Santa Margarita, Italy, very nice.
How does that grade?

Welcome!
As I am frightened by your avatar and you are likely to be frightened by mine lol....and we are close in age and both targeting 188 el-bees, here is my suggestion if you can get it at the fest or bring it in:
Vodka martini with olives:
Calories in a Vodka Martini using 3 fluid ounces of vodka, splash of dry vermouth and a green olive - About 210 calories and less than one carb gram.
To drop the fractional carb, drop the vermouth, and then it's rocket fuel though.
Either way, basically zero carbs and zero hangover if you are able to avoid mixing it with Ultra beer that night. Don't want to drink and feel like it, have a few olives as a snack. I had Ultra at a music fest a few weeks ago. I find the Ultra can be a slippery slope...if one how 'bout several - with friends drinking, and at a couple carbs each there goes the carb budget, or heck why not a Guinness others are having??
Having said all that, by the book is best.
I'm headed to the gym.
