Re: booze
I believe all is fattening. Alcohol is a carb. Of course, I don't drink so I could be wrong.

Re: booze
I do weight watchers so I think in points. If it helps 1 point is about 50 calories
a shot of hard alcohol is 2 points
light beer 2 points
1 serving of wine (I think it's only 4oz?) 2 pts
regular beer 3 points
your best bet is to stay away from fruity drinks as this can add lots of calories. I've mixed raspberry vodka with crystal light or diet sprite and it's pretty good. hope that helps.

I do the same, the flavored vodkas can be OK w/seltzer or try bacardi & diet coke. None of them are good for your weight! I usually just eat a lot less when I drink

Re: booze
beer: go for light beer over regular beer
wine: wine spritzers are best, but wine generally isnt that bad. red wine is supposed to be good for your heart in moderation.
liquor: be careful, some flavored liquors have lots of calories. also, a lot of mixers do too. you're probably best off mixing with diet soda, 100% juice (more calories, but at least there is nutritional benefit as well), or drinking something on the rocks. a friend of mine drinks vodka with water when she's dieting and seems to like it
