I feel like most of my friends drinks them.
But, actually, I think it’s the tonic I’m more opposed to than the gin…because I kind of like gin. I’m weird. Heh.

I like vodka sodas…probably for that very reason. They go down easy and are LOW IN CALORIES! I was shocked at how many calories are in a gin and tonic!

I’m a big fan of Citron and Soda with 2 limes. Light and fresh during the spring/summer months, and low on the calorie count. If I need the caffeine consumption, I drink a whynatte (coffee drink) and espresso/vanilla vodka,

Oh, I must agree. I actually bought some chocolate vodka last week and I am going to try it in a coffee drink.

Vodka soda is my choice, with two lemons or two limes in it. Gives it an extra pinch (and distracts from the fact that u are basically drinking straight vodka).

I’m a control freak too when it comes to drinking (and most things). My boyfriend’s family always teases me and asks me if I’m pregnant bc of how little wine I drink at dinner. I can’t help it! The idea of being even a tiny bit drunk at the dinner table with them is enough to make me sick.

My drink of choice: St Germaine Martini. It is St Germaine elderflower liqueur, pear vodka, and champagne. I discovered this drink at Bar 89 in New York City when I was there for BlogHer last year. Since then, when socializing and drinking with friends, it is my drink.

Are you no soda at all? Can you do like a whiskey and sprite?

Sweet tea vodka, if they have it in Canada is lovely. And you can mix it with water or lemonade.

You could always do vodka and a sprite/club soda split – you get some sweetness, but not all the calories.

I am not much of a drinker either. A little wine, a martini here and there. I really like Cokes.

I have found that a Mojito is fun and never too strong. Nice in the summer.

I tend to drink club soda with a twist of lemon. I *hate* drinking any precious calories I could be eating, club soda doesn’t have any calories.

I’m usually a G&T girl but in the summer I make Sangria a lot. I’ve also started making it with de-alcoholized wine. Not as much fun, but at least you can drive after a glass or two.

Wait. What’s in Patron? Is it FRUITY?

“Wait. What’s in Patron?” I just spit Diet Coke all over my computer…

I quit diet coke cold turkey…because it’s the only way that works for me. Even if I’m nursing it, it’s not a good idea for me to have any at all. SADLY. Heh.

I will try coconut rum…because that sounds very interesting to me…but I don’t do pineapple. Maybe with just the orange juice?

Yeah, just OJ with some grenadine would probably work, too. You don’t do pineapple?

No sir. No pineapple for me. Of any kind. Ever.

I’m not much of a drinker either. When I go out I usually get a Cosmopolitan (vodka, cranberry juice and something else) or just vodka and cranberry juice.

I am a wino – not in the stand on the street corner and beg for money for my next glass/bottle way – and not too ashamed of it; I can tell you I prefer pinot grigio to chardonnay, and chianti to pretty much any other type of red (though there are some good merlots and pinot noirs).

If you are looking to replace a coke and vodka, how about a 7UP and vodka? It is my husband’s drink of choice when he orders alcohol at restaurants, though I also suggest a White Russian (with chocolatey liquour, yum yum) -neither of these drinks do I have on a regular basis.

Also, what is your favorite beer? Even if you don’t drink it often, what would you be more likely to reach for?

I love a good mojito, but bartenders typically hate to make them. Still, they’re delicious, so I order them anyway.

that sounds PERFECT.

….and now I’m singing the Brava ads.

Braaaaaava! The beer of Summer!

If I feel like being super class, vodka and cranberry. Otherwise, my latest obsession is Strongbow hard cider. Looks badass like a beer, tastes yummy like a girly drink.

I am a gin drinker. Gin and tonics. Gimlets. Tom Collins. You name it. I’ll drink it. However, gin is (I think) one of the most fattening alcohols. I think vermouth is the least fattening. But who just drinks vermouth???

I have to second (or is it third by now?) the vodka cranberry. We’ve also been drinking 7&7s for the past year or so – it’s totally an old man drink, but I let it slide because it really is delish!

Still, give cranberry and vanilla vodka a try. Somehow, it tastes like strawberry cheesecake.

I suffer from the not knowing what drink to order at a bar syndrome. This is because I do not like beer or wine. So liquor it is! And the only bar I ever really go to has now solved this problem for me. They bought a frozen drink machine and keep it filled with frozen Vegas bombs. Red bull, Crown Royal, Peach Schnapps, and Malibu. Those things all mixed together and frozen make for one divine beverage.

However, I can see that this helps you in no way at all. So I suggest either a 7&7 or a Midori sour. These are girly, but with many calories I’m sure. But hey, if you’re only having one…

A White Russian is a wonderful tasty drink.

Screwdriver – vodka and orange juice.

Cuba Libre – rum & coke w/ a twist of lime.
