[Deja Q]

1. Wouldn't sniffing glue and eating a tic-tac be healthier all-round?

:D

[Fridays Child]

2. I sniff Tic-Tacs and eat glue.

But I'm willing to try it your way. :P

[Deja Q]

6. You are the first person to say that!

Usually, people want me to do things their way and then it turns out they were just teasing...

[JVS]

10. That's what I do!

[Left Is Write]

3. Do you want to know what I did to the woman...

who sat down beside me at a bar about 10-15 years ago, as I was enjoying a pina colada, and proceeded to inform me that it had 600 calories in it?

[Maddy McCall]

5. Do tell!

:D

[Left Is Write]

9. I'd like to say she left the bar wearing a straw that went in her ear...

and came out her nostril, but that would be a big, fat lie.


It was a paper umbrella.

[Fridays Child]

12. That would constitute...

...rum rage. :spank: :evilgrin:

[Maddy McCall]

17. Hahaa!

:D

[Maddy McCall]

16. One can dream.

:D

I can't stand to be somewhere having an innocent good time and someone has to drop a downer on me. :(

[Fridays Child]

7. Me 'n' Maddy wanna know!

[supernova]

4. Most of the time; it's the sugar

in the mixer.

I discovered this when I switched to low carb several years ago. The advice was to get used to neat or on ice liquor. And that's what I do now, besides the occasional marguerita. Although, a mojito could be an option. That's not bad calorie-wise.

[SmokingJacket]

8. Mojitos are my favorite.

Crushed mint -- omg.

Also: G&T, though the tonic has sugar. You could go with diet tonic, but that just seems wrong.

[supernova]

11. I do diet Tonic

and it's not bad.

I'll have to try a mojito next time I go out. Rum and coke never did it for me.

[gollygee]

13. What a kill-joy list that is!

*sigh*

[Left Is Write]

14. That's what I say.

[Southsideirish]

15. I love margarita's but I feel lousy the next morning - even after only 2 -

maybe its all the salt...

[kiraboo]

18. I had six vodka and grapefruits last Friday night

and I think I LOST a pound or two B-)

[LostinVA]

22. It's the new Grapefruit Diet!

[Jara sang]

19. Jack Daniels and bacon grease shooters are pretty fattening too.

[Fridays Child]

20. And for the vegatarians, that would be...

...Jack Daniels and Crisco. :P

[supernova]

26. Bacon grease is the food of the gods!

:P

[LostinVA]

21. I love mojitos...

[bbernardini]

23. What about shots of Jameson? nt

[Fridays Child]

29. What is Jameson?

[bbernardini]

30. Irish whiskey nt

[dysfunctional press]

24. how about a bottle of scotch?

just a fifth, tho...

[Fridays Child]

28. Calories in Scotch...

...115 per jigger.

[In_The_Wind]

25. The first 4 on the list are some of my favorites.

I can still drink an Appletini guilt free!

[Fridays Child]

27. After...

...enjoying my first chocolate martini the other night, I'm really glad that didn't show up on the list, too.

[libnnc]

31. I'd say any kind of chocolate martini

vodka and Godiva liqueur gotta be fattening fer sure

[Fridays Child]

32. Dang...

...it all!

[pitohui]

33. what about chocolate martini?

i've had some that had entire melted chocolate thingies in there, i would guess they had a helluva lot more carbs and calories than a damn cosmopolitan

fortunately i've been a little on the thin side lately and in the interest of fending off any recurrence of an eating disorder i have been making sure to have at least chocolate martini a week for the last couple weeks! :-)

[Fridays Child]

34. Enjoy a chocolate martini for me, then...

...because I have the feeling that my eating disorder is the polar opposite of yours. :(

(but those sure are good martinis, aren't they?)

[pitohui]

35. oh they are good martinis so good! EOM
