On the topic of BOOZE...
Since it is summer and I'm in my early 20s and I seem to be going out ALL the time lately, I'm going to write about drinkin'!
I am pretty fortunate that I am not a beer drinker and I have never been a huge drinker. Well, not never, just not for a while! 
So, some of the things I avoid, some of the things I splurge on, and some of my standard "safe" drinks...
AVOID:
Beer. ick anyway!
Really fruity girly drinks
Frozen drinks
SPLURGE:
Mojitos! These are relatively ok - made with rum, club soda, lime and mint... the killer is the simple syrup! but the place I go doesn't make them very sweet, so I feel ok about them!
Vodka Tonic Tonic water has lots of hidden calories! It's not water, folks! It's got sugar and calories!!!
Wine I love wine, red and white, and sparkling! The champagne I definitely have been limiting. Wine with dinner is just too nice to pass up on sometimes though... and with how humid it has been in my neck of the woods, I haven't been sleeping so I've been doing a glass of red before bed so I can sleep... heheheh
SAFE BETS
Vanilla Vodka and Diet Coke This is super tasty but be careful - you get drunk quicker on diet soda cause you don't have the calories and sugar to balance out the booze! This works for rum and coke too, I just like Vodka better!
Vodka and club soda with lemon/lime Club soda really is calorie free! There used to be an AbsolutKurant out there that made a really yummy, bitter tasting mixed drink, but I haven't seen it in awhile.
The also advertised a bunch of half calorie liquors last year, but I haven't seen them in bars...
Well anyway, there's my two cents. Now I feel armed and ready for another weekend of goin' out and drinkin'!!!
