Some tips for limiting for calorie consumption to a minimum when it comes to alcoholic beverages:
1. Drink beverages neat or on the rocks.
2. Absolutely avoid soda and sugary drinks as mixers. Instead of a whiskey/coke order a whiskey/club soda. Club Soda and tonic water have zero calories.
3. Don't pound beers. I limit myself to 1-2 beers when I go out. I'll have as many shots or neat drinks as I feel like and then shut it down with a beer or two over the course of the rest of the night.
Lastly just about every piece of information in this thread is useless if youre not already in control of your eating habits and caloric intake. If you're consuming at a caloric surplus daily, cutting down out a few beers or even alcohol completely won't do much unless it's enough to bring your caloric intake to a deficit.
