Q.

Can you suggest good choices of alcoholic drink?

As I normally drink a couple of pints of stella on my 3 visits a week to the pub could you suggest any alternative that is alcoholic and has not too may calories, but is also a long drink. If I alternate with non alcoholic drinks which are the least in calories.

A.

Our expert says...

The other possibilites are things like vodka, bacardi or whisky with diet mixers, or a white wine spritzer (spritzed with water). You can have a double of a spirit for only around 112 calories but add as much diet cola or slimline tonic as you want and it will stay at this calorie intake but be transformed into a long drink. If your prefer to stick with beers, lagers and ciders the main thing is to choose the less alcoholic ones, because it is the alcohol level that really bumps up the calories. Have you tried Michelob Ultra - it is 4 per cent alcohol and also low carb , so a pint contains around 180 calories not the 250 or so in Stella.

I hope these suggestions help ou to enjoy your pub visits. Just remember to go careful on the nuts and crisps!
