The best of the worst
Hey guys
Just after some advice as to what the best alcoholic drink to have is. I plan on having my first drink tonight and don't know what is best?

Sorry, can't help ya there. I don't tolerate alcohol very well. 1/2 of a wine cooler and it's straight to my head. Although, I did/do like lime Margarita's lots of ice, no salt.

I've heard vodka & cranberry juice. I'm waiting on alcohol until this summer. Take it nice & slow....I hear you can get drunk pretty fast now with these pouches of ours!

There is this low-sugar/carb alcohol [rum, i believe] called Island Breeze. Mix that with a little orange juice and yummy!
Other than that, since I can tolerate sugar pretty well... I like Orange Juice and Peach Schnapps. =]
I mean... i'm not old enough to drink... hehe.

I do too much and its hard for me in public to drink as I never know what to have, let alone what reaction I will have. I have had a low-carb cooler - Shmirnoff Ice and had some wine....I can't do cranberry juice due to the sugar, but I would have that if i could.
Trial and Error I think

I stick with Vodka Tonics or Mandrine Orange Vodka and Soda Water. If I have anything else it is usually a glass of white wine. It all goes right to my head. I'm a super cheap date

Thanks everyone. I am back from Paris and alive and kicking. I went for Vodka and orange juice - had four over about a seven hour period and had no problems at all. I was drunk but not really ad at all - still able to fight all those french men off so can't have been too bad!
I also tried Vodka and no sugar blueberry ribena and it was delish! I'm not much of a drinker at all but it's nice to be sociable every few months.

I drink Bacardi (rum) and diet coke. No carbs and no sugar. Drinking is a weird thing I have found. I get drunk very, very fast but the feeling disappears very quickly.

Vodka and 7 or martini's
BTW, drinking diet coke with alcohol makes you drunker (is that a word?) Something about the mix of it with asperthame (sp?) I would avoid diet drinks and have a designated driver-even for one drink! You get the vapors pretty quick!

Is this true? Bacardi has no sugar? I was the biggest fan of Bacardi ever - my god you would have made my day if this is right?
