I had no idea that a Long Island Iced Tea had so many calories!
1I usually stick with seltzer water or diet soda mixed with vodka. It's pretty low in calories and you can make all sorts of variations with it.
millarci--yeah, Long Islands are pretty much pure booze, so that's why they're so high in calories and it's also why they hit you like a ton of bricks. Those things are LETHAL!
2tequila sunrise's is what i'm drinking tonite! YUM
3Yay for red wine!
4i bet the calories are good.. but what about the sugar in them fit? i bet some such as mike's hard lemonade are very high in sugar
5I'm happy to see one of my drinks of choice, gin and tonic, is on the low calorie list. I wonder how many calories the Heineken Lights I drank had?
