Healthiest Way to Get Drunk?

[Jack_Dawson]

I've heard Bacardi and Diet = 0 calories, 0 carbs. Problem is I hate both. Any other shortcuts to inebriation that don't involve a million calories? Thanks DU'ers I knew I could count on you.

BTW, I love Tonic but it's LOADED w/ carbs.

1. Marijuana?

Tastes great, less filling

[Jack_Dawson]

9. Doesn't really agree with me

It's OK once in awhile I guess. But it's no Vicodin.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. Until the munchies come

[tk2kewl]

2. I think the machine that you inhale alcohol mist with is *healthier*

3. Vodka and Orange juice?

Gin and tonic?

[Jack_Dawson]

21. OJ - loaded w/ carbs

:-)

[StClone]

26. Alcohol is converted to carbs and stored as fat

:-)

[Jack_Dawson]

28. Even "0 carb" Bacardi?

[Beaverhausen]

38. Rum has a lot of calories

you have to factor that in.

I agree with the red wine voters.

[StClone]

54. I may have over simplified this

But as I recall alcohol has a very high energy content. When the body metabolizes it one result is ketone (which is where I oversimplified as ketone is not a carbo). Ketone (in a process called ketosis)is what the body runs on when it runs low on glycogen (carbos are used to make glycogen). I was taught if glycogen is available ketones may be turned into fat (stored) by another process. But, don't ask me which.

58. Rum is made from Sugar Cane.....n/t

[yellowcanine]

4. That's easy - 100% grain alcohol.

[sendero]

47. Yeah but...

... vodka and gin both come close :)

[bif]

5. All booze has calories in it

But I've heard Scotch & soda called the diet drink.

[Jessica]

6. Red Wine.

About 100 calories & good for your heart!

[candle_bright]

7. Vodka and soda water

I have a friend who claims to enjoy Absolut and soda with two limes.

I think it tastes like hell, but she drinks it.

[underpants]

8. Get O'Reilly to inject it into you

Should only take two glasses to get the job done

[Jack_Dawson]

11. Inject what, UP?

[underpants]

15. Wine

and then hold on for the loofah.....falafel...... whatever

[movie_girl99]

10. im pretty sure

vodka and tequila are low in carbs. thats my poison when i want to get smashed.

[rogerashton]

12. Stay the heck away from (my) beer.

Loaded with calories and carbs. And the better it tastes, the moreso.

But if all you want is to get googly, fall on your head. Worked for me -- lasted a few days, too.

Of course, that six-month hangover is not so nice, but ....

[Jack_Dawson]

17. What are you talking about rogerashton?

:shrug:

[rogerashton]

22. It is often difficult to tell,

since I fell on my head.

OK, here it is boringly dull: The sensations of being drunk are symptoms of ill health. My own recent experience of head injury reinforces by experience that well know fact. So anyone who wants to get drunk (as distinct from enjoying the mild sensations, flavors and other pleasures that come with a glass of wine or beer) must have been across the street when the Good Lawd was passing out brains.

[crispini]

13. Get diet tonic.

no carbs! bars very rarely have it though, but you can buy it in most any supermarket.

[sundog]

16. Red wine

I seem to be doing well enough ;)

[Blue-Jay]

18. Probably Guinness.

There's all sorts of vitamins and minerals in a pint of Guinness, so I suppose that more beer = more healthy.

Makes sense to me.

[dubyaD40web]

20. Def. Guinness

It's like a sandwich in a glass!

[Itchinjim]

19. BEER BONGS!!!!!

Chugchugchugchugeerrrpppvomit.

[Salviati]

23. Don't worry about it so much

Alcohol itself has a ton of calories in it, It's almost as bad as drinking liquid sugar. Cut yourself some slack and have something you enjoy.

[SarahB]

24. I've seen Diet Tonic.

Waist Watcher cola makes it. If that's in your area, check it out. I don't drink much, so I haven't even tried it yet, but I used to love gin and tonic (or vodka and tonic), so I suppose next time I'm in the mood, I'll try it.

[LynzM]

34. If you get Schweppe's Diet Tonic

It tastes a little like they already added the lime :)

1/2 seltzer (flavored if you want), 1/2 all-juice juice, plus some hard liquor isn't too calorie-filled, and tasted pretty darn good, depending on the flavors you choose for those three things!

I personally love Malibu and Diet Coke :)

[noonwitch]

25. MD 20/20

It works.

[LiberallyInclined]

30. exactly- fortified red wine.

good for the heart...

and what ails 'ya.

[Baclava]

27. Whiskey & Water

10,000 year old Mountain Spring Water...from the glaciers...in Norway

[RetroLounge]

29. Jack Daniels Enema...

So I hear...

[mopaul]

31. drinking lying down

homer simpson style, with the bar tap in your face. can't fall down and injure yourself that way.

[radwriter0555]

32. I recommend your local Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Self medicating

with booze is no way to live -- or die.

:)

[Jack_Dawson]

33. Buzzkill.com?

Oh dear.

[radwriter0555]

46. Yes. Your conscience speaking.

There is nothing to be gained from getting drunk.

Excessive drinking is a sign of a serious emotional or health problem. You should acknowledge this and learn from it and move on to the next phase of the issue.

It's only because I care. People rarely have the balls to confront someone who has a problem like this. I've sent many people to AA and other such programs where they're sorted out issues they're grappling with.

It's only because I care.

:)

[slestak]

35. I don't believe that...

Sugar-free rum? I don't think so.

[Spider Jerusalem]

36. Um..."healthiest way to get drunk"?

That's the silliest subject line I've seen in a liong time. You DO know ethanol is a poison, right? Liver damage, brain damage, pancreatitis, et cetera....if you cared THAT much about your health you wouldn't be getting drunk; there's more to health that watching your carb intake and counting calories.

[catzies]

37. HEALTHIEST way is with equal parts Trader Joe's Garden Patch juice,

mixed with equal parts of carrot/celery/spinach/watercress juice, topped of with a shot of wheatgrass juice and as much VODKA as the glass will hold.

I drink this in a pub glass every night except when I'm drinking beer.

[Jack_Dawson]

40. Catzies you never fail me, LOL

:toast:

[catzies]

44. I call my little cocktail a "River Phoenix." Pure on the outside,

and TOXIC inside.

:evilgrin:

[jus_the_facts]

39. some whiskey and some water....

:headbang:

[Jack_Dawson]

41. OMG how did you KNOW

I love Wild Turkey! Great minds.

[jus_the_facts]

43. It IS the best bourbon made....

....great minds inDEED! :9 :hi:

[democracyindanger]

42. Donate blood to the Red Cross, then have a beer.

Well, maybe not the healthiest, but definitely the cheapest.

[Jack_Dawson]

45. Quickest Way to Lose a Pound!

Donate a pint of blood. :toast:

[mzmolly]

48. Organic Red Wine.

Frey has a decent selection.

[flvegan]

49. Mmmm...Habitat wines. Yummy, friendly to the earth...

Frey is very, very, very good as well.

[roguevalley]

50. I don't know if its healthy but a friend told me a gay friend had told

her that the FASTEST way to get drunk is with a champagne enema.

I can't imagine. :evilgrin:

[Jack_Dawson]

53. That is just wrong

[Flammable Materials]

51. I just drink Steel Reserve and don't think about it.

... and try not to gag too much.

:)

[IronLionZion]

52. hey, Bacardi is loaded with calories

alcohol has calories. Anyone who sells you "0 calorie alcohol" is swindling you.

just drink in moderation and easy on the mixers.

or try weed

[Kellanved]

55. Here it is:

[dr.strangelove]

56. Scotch and Water

Tastes great and low in carbs.

[EC]

57. Jello shots

high alcohol content, tastes good, low calories

edit for spelling

[paula777]

59. What about vodka martini's? Are there carbs in vermouth?
