Question

Can you be on a diet and still drink alcohol. hard liquor not beer? if so how bad is it.?

Answer 1

It all depends on the drink!  Go for Bacardi and Diet Coke.....No Calories or Carbs!    But alcohol is like any other "splurge" on a diet.  If you know you are going to have a drink, have a lighter main course, or even better, skip the appetizer or desert!  ;)

Answer 2

I'm no dietician...

but the worry of drinking alcohol while dieting is the calories, and maybe carbs(?). So if you drink drinks with a low sugar content you should be fine. Like the other poster's suggestion of one mixer drinks using diet coke.

Answer 3

It depends...a 12 oz light beer (domestic US) has about 100 calories, roughly the same as a shot or a glass of wine.  Some liqueurs have more...like Jager.  So you can be on a diet, but booze calories add up quickly.

Answer 4

Each alcohol has different calories, and different sugar count ..... and mixers could have ALOT of calories
