Vodka, sadly. However - and this is a real kicker - alcohol also slows down your metabolism, meaning you burn off fewer calories. So the drunker you get, the longer your drink - and everything else- will take to burn off.
You're better off with low-cal beers or long drinks with a little alcohol and lots of juice and ice or diet mixers.
If you like your beer, several companies now brew low-cal brews that actually taste - lord be praised - better than many normal beers.
Try:
- Marston's Resolution (dark ale)
- Michelob Ultra (very clean-tasting, crisp US-style lager)
Finally, it's a diet, not masochism. Enjoy a drink every once in a while but don't make it a daily thing.

Alcohol is effectively a highly concentrated sugar, and therefore packed with calories. It therefore follows that the higher the alcohol content, the more calories - in other words, if you drink a glass of beer you'll only get about 1/10th of the alcohol of the same amount of spirits. Of course, to get the same 'effect' you would normally drink much more of beer/wine than spirits, so it may be that the alcohol intake is pretty much the same either way.
In addition most drinks contain 'normal' sugar as well: sweet wine has more than dry wine, liqueur has more than spirits, etc., and if you use regular Coke as a mixer you'll get plenty more sugar than if you use Diet Coke (although the latter tastes horrible when mixed with spirits!). Contrary to popular belief, however, colourful drinks don't have to contain more sugar than clear ones (eg. red vs. white wine, brandy vs. vodka, etc.).
In conclusion, drink low-ABV drinks, and don't add sugary mixers.

Drink huge quantities of ANY lo-alcohol beer and sit or stand as far away as possible from the toilets. With all the running back & forth to the bog to piddle, you should have no trouble getting rid of your BB.

According to the Aktins diet books, vodka has no calories present, but you'd need to drink it with no mixer at all.
If you really wanna lose weight DONT BOOZE AT ALL - any alcohol is basically carbs and is worse for you than alot of snack foods.

Vodka has the least calories. Avoid beer at all costs.
Try diet coke with the Vodka - but becareful - it doesn't taste alcoholic!!
Good luck!
