I know everyone is thinking the best alcohol to drink is none. but yes i already know that. But This is the year of all my friends and my 21st Birthday's I'm from Australia so we've been legal since 18.
I drink almost anything and am going to two 21st's this weekend but I am also just starting out on a better eating plan...
I don't want to lose my social life and i enjoy having a few drinks on the weekend with my mates.
What is the best form of alcohol or mix with when it comes to watching your weight?

Wines
Or if you want to drink spirits have it with soda water.

Actually, ALL alcohol is bad for 2 reasons.
1. Alcohol has about 7 calories per gram (almost double that of carbohydrates which has only 4 calories per gram).
2. Alcohol floods your system with acetaldehyde which disrupts the Krebs cycle and slows the metabolism.
It is one of the most fattening substances that you can put in your body. Drinking alcohol while on a diet is like having a cheese burger and large fries with a diet coke.
Here is more info about the fattening effects of alcohol:

Try light beer or white wine. Regular beer and cocktails are loaded with calories. Stay away from the sweet, after-dinner drinks like grasshoppers or Smith & Kerns. If you drink hard liquor, use plain soda as a mix, rather than sugary sodas. And, though you may not agree, I would limit myself to no more than two drinks per occasion. Sip them and they'll last a lot longer. Two don'ts -- (1) Don't drink on an empty stomach, and (2) Don't drink and drive!

Since I started to work out I was looking for a good weight loss product. I was on a diet but I felt that I needed a little "help" so I decided to try this great product and I had fantastic results. You can check their website at
http://www.goinfoport.info , they give you a free trial and you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling.

I dont profess to be a scholar, but i do know the worst think you can drink is beer.
Wine or liquour dont really carry enough calories to be worried about. Just when you get mixed drinks with liquor be sure to stay away from the excessive sugars (coke based) or milk/cream based drinks.
i dont think vodka tonics can make anyone fat.

Mix your 80 proof liquor with tonic water and drink it slow
and add lime
Fitman is right though.
Australian women sound adorable. :)
