| So tell me, whats everybody drinking?
So, i know we arn't suppost to be drinking anything carybonated, and i have't been, but what does everyone drink when they go out? Beer was always my drink of choice when going out on the town ( and of course a lot of shooters)..hehe... Anyways i went out last nite, and i drank rye and water with lime. Always a fav of mine, but what does everybody else drink???
come on, i wont tell anybody..hehehehe..

I had to abandon my promising career in alcohol 15 years ago due to diabetes....

I buy the crystal light on the go singles they are for a 20 oz glass of water single servings ..I carry them in my purse and pour them in my water, they have lemonade, rasberry ice and peach ice tea. It makes it very easy to get my water intake in everyday. They are now available in the grocery stores in the koolaid/crystal light isle. Trpoicana also makes a sugar free fruit punch and orangeade in the can or bottle that have zero calories.

I do water or milk (so I can get my 4 servings and it has protein) & carry those same little packets to add to water if it tastes nasty! (Walmart even makes a generic!) I also drink the low cal lemonade at mcDonalads or buy the minutemaid diet products (no carbination for taking to parties or traveling etc.The

I like a glass of wine but when it comes to alcohol I think carbonation is the issue as well as the calories consumed.

Okay, this is probably the reason my weight loss is slow. I do have a glass of wine some nights.
I was just on vacation for a week with a bunch of friends. we tend to drink, visit, play dice in the evenings. I did have a couple of beers. sometimes they work, sometimes they get thrown out after the first swallow. It does seem to reduce the carbonation if you add ice and/or tomato juice.
Mostly, I drank margaritas or wine. Yes, its time to stop and return to band lifestyle!! I hurried home from vacation to start living a healthy lifestyle again.
Since I don't like sweet drinks, its water or iced tea for me.

I love Sugar free Tropicana Orange aid, light minutemaid lemonade and crystal light- but I drink water the most- and iced tea if I need caffeine-
H20, H20, H20, but I still gotta have an iced, Sugar free Hazelnut, skim, latte from Starbucks once/week or so......

Crystal Light, Water, Coffee. As for alcohol, it's usually a Blush or White Zinfandel glass of wine. I only indulge once a month, tops. Usually less though.

I am getting better about drinking plain water, I even bought a water pitcher with the filter in the lid at walmart yesterday. It is made by dupont and was a really good deal and the filters are pretty reasonable too. I drink 2 small bottles of propel a day, one in the morning and one while I am walking. It is good, sugar free and has some vitamins in it.
As for "drinks" I usually have a bloody mary made spicy. If we are at home I use V8 a dash of Chipotle tobasco, some six vodka and a pickle spear. I rim the glass with salt, crushed red pepper or seasoned salt. I also like vodka and OJ. I am not much of a drinker but when I do those are my drinks of choice. ~Mandy
