What to drink at the bar..
So, for the past few weeks my friends and I have been going to '80s night at a local bar, and while I love dancing and hanging with my friends, finding something appropriate to drink while I'm there is a challenge. Although I nursed a glass of wine last week, I don't especially want something alcoholic but the bubbles in my old pre-surgery stand-by, Diet Coke, don't really agree with my stomach either. Even the old-fashioned club soda is bubbly and thus not really an option.
What do you guys order? Any suggestions of something non-sugary, non-carbonated and non-caloric?

Wow, non-sugary, non-carbonated, and on-caloric...I think that leaves water lol. You could get a club soda on ice and let it go a little flat. Wine is your best bet as far as alcoholic drinks go. They did a whole thing on the Today Show recently on calories in drinks. Rum or vodka and diet soda are pretty low too.
I do tequila shots. If you're scotch drinker you could do scotch and water...lots of water. When I'm not drinking I get them to dress up my water with all the fruits...LOL. If you can handle tomato juice you could go with a virgin mary.
I will live each day in the mindful present

What kind of alcohol do you like?
I drink wine and beer - mainly because I won't do sugary, carbonated mixers. Plus I dump - BADDD. I can handle the carbonation in the beer now - but you might not. I DO not drink any kind of diet soda anymore either.
What I've done before is take some of the small packets of crystal light lemonade with me - order a large glass of water and a shot of whiskey, mix the crystal lite in the water then add the whiskey... got a good whiskey sour. You really could do that with any of the crystal lite flavors - use your imagination!!
