1. Diet Sodas. Make mixed drinks with diet sodas. This can take off about 100 calories per drink which depending on how much you have, can add up to quite a lot by the end of the night.

2. Fruit and Vegetables Juices. Make mixed drinks with fruit juices or tomato juice. Even the small amount of vitamins and minerals will make your drinks healthier than if you had used soda.

3. Shots. Shots contain the same amount of alcohol that mixed drinks do but they have far less calories because they aren't... mixed with anything. This can also cause you to drink more which will defeat the purpose of taking a shot, so be mindful of how whiskeymuch you're putting down.

4. Light Beer. Light beer has less calories than the regular kind but can cause you to drink more since you won't feel full. If you drink light beer to save on the amount of calories, keep track ofhow much you're actually drinking because it can end up being a lot more than you think.

5. Wine. If you can afford it, drink wine instead of liquor or beer. It is very high in antioxidants which can help protect you from cancer. Don't drink too much thinking its healthy. Studies show that benefits happen from drinking 1-2 glasses per day for men and 1 glass per day for women.
