I should do that. I usually order Captain and Ginger or an LIT (um, not anymore). Would be great if they had diet ginger, but most places don't.

Re: 10 Most Fattening Cocktails
And I have been craving a white russian! I ordered one yesterday and they couldn't make it for me - no milk. I was just telling DH I am going to buy the stuff to make one today.
Maybe i should skip it

Mojitos are my fav.! Oh well. I'm sure there are other drinks they didn't list that are just as high.

Why? I've not heard this and I do it all the time. I'd be interested in knowing why they caution against.

Re: 10 Most Fattening Cocktails
Artificial sweeteners increase the rate of alcohol absorption in the body, meaning that drinks mixed with diet soda may be more potent than sugary drinks.
Reuters reported May 23 that Australian researchers said that the sweeteners cause the stomach to empty faster, thus speeding alcohol into the bloodstream. They based their conclusions on experiments using ultrasound to track digestion among a group of male test subjects after they consumed vodka mixed with an orange sugar-sweetened drink, then later a drink sweetened with artificial ingredients.
Dr. Chris Rayner and colleagues at Royal Adelaide Hospital found that the subjects' stomachs emptied half of their contents in 15.3 minutes after the diet drink, compared to 21.1 minutes after consuming the sugar-sweetened drink. Peak blood-alcohol content also was higher after the men drank the artificially sweetened drink.
"People tend to consume more [drinks with diet mixers] because of the lower calorie content," said Rayner. "These drinks also tend to be consumed at times other than meal times, when food would slow gastric emptying." Rayner said that labels on artificially sweetened alcohol drinks should warn about the elevated risk of intoxication.

Well I did hear that you get drunk faster when you drink alchol with diet soda - I guess this explains why.

I usually drink wine, though I do like a malibu bay breeze every once in a while. I am sure that has tons of calories. OH WELL!!
