Looking for "Healthy" Alcoholic Beverage

I'm looking for a healthy alcoholic beverage since I'm on a strict diet. I'm tired of impeding my diet by drinking beer. I can't have both.
I'm thinking Scotch and Wine would be the best alternatives. But I'm sure both are loaded with sugars. I can't stand vodka but is that really my only choice here? Thanks.

Gin. Juniper berries are good for you. Use diet tonic.
Really, other than the one glass of red wine a night for your heart, I've not heard of a healthy booze. I'd like to, though.

I was told that agave tequila with fresh squeezed lime and a splash of club soda makes a "healthy" margarita. It's called the "NorCal" margarita. It's pretty good. I usually added a splash of 100% (no sugar added) OJ to it as well just for a little more flavor.

Most hard liquor has little sugar, it's all been fermented out. That doesn't mean it doesn't have some calories. Mix that shite with soda or water to keep it as low cal as possible. Try subbing lime flavored sparkling water for tonic. You can get it at whole foods.

I will also mix crystal light & vodka. Pretty good, just pick the flavor you like.

Red wines of your liking, in moderation, are good for you and your heart.
Macallan 21 yr old scotch is great for my heart!
Titos vodka doesn't have that taste you don't like. I know. Asked for a vodka that didn't taste like vodka and my guy sold me on Titos a few years back. Great with tonic and a squeeze of lime, for the health and all. Keeps scurvy at bay.

Avoid imperial stouts.
I've always heard red wine is a pretty healthy option.

What about a Bloody Mary? Tomato juice has less sugar and fewer calories than the previously suggested OJ drinks. Not to mention there is practically a salad added to the drink!
Here's to your health!

I have just started working out again and eating a low carb diet. If you are watching calories but you want a higher effect, skip the beer and go for the hard liquour. Try and just use ice and save yourself the calories because most mixers are loaded.
Since I am doing low carb, I am limiting my alcohol intake to strictly liquor. I am also attempting to limit the amount so that I am not having to deal with too much of a caloric increase. Wine is the big lie in terms of dieting. Yes, it does have less calories than beer or liquor but you are looking at 5 - 8 grams of carbs per serving. If you are shooting for a true low carb diet, than you are trying to stay under 25 or 30 grams a day. One glass of wine will give you a quarter of your daily allowance.
I try and keep it simple because nothing is worse than dieting sober.

Any alcohol is going to cause you to retain water.. If you want to lose the water retension and detox your liver, mix 1/8 teaspoon of Turmeric (spice used in middle eastern and indian food) into a bit of warm water and drink it like a shot. Once a day is fine and the taste isn't bad.
