I drink oxo cubes lol.
I don't like alcohol so I have never had to consider what I can and cannot have in that department. It takes up a massive amount of cals doesn't it and I bet its a bit of a bugger to deal with. I would rather have a nice calorie laden sandwich than a drink anytime.
PS I'm not saying that I think there is anything wrong with having a drink, its just that I don't like it, Yucky stuff lol.

I'm not a big drinker, once a week something like that, I've struggled with wine though as it gives me heartburn, should only last another couple of months though but I had a lovely glass of Baileys last week and it went down a treat, I wanted something sweet and it hit the spot, I know it alot of calories and may cause bypassers to dump(?) but it was great for me - not that good that I'm buying a bottle to have in the house though - that would be tooo tempting.

Crikey I forgot, Champagne is carbonated, can't go without when the occassions arise, lots of very small sips there I think.

You can leave it to go flat or take tiny sips. Bubbles don't affect me too much as I tend to have teeny sips and only one or two drinks anyway. I love my Baileys and I still have a bud or a Bulmers now and then but it takes a long time to drink (because I make it take a long time!) and it's only a couple times a year now.
Gas can upset your pouch and it's calories that aren't doing anything for you but I am not a regular drinker so I guess it suits me pretty well what I'm doing x

Not going anywhere!
Don`t often have a drink much these days - but if I was to opt for any.......Baileys has always been a favourite.....or....vodka....with flat lemonade....vodka with fresh orange juice (only a little)....just like vodka! In my young days used to like cinzano...with lemonade.....but I still like a dry martini and lemonade...on occasion.

At 2 years out I drink most things occasionally but as Neen says if it has a carbonated mixer stir it until the bubbles die down. best not to drink routinely until after the first 6 minths or even a year if you can make it. Different surgeons give different time limits or even none but it can be a bit astringent for your pouch until its fully settled.

Im not a big drinker either, 2 or 3 times a year maximum for me. But ive always like a beer with a bit of lemonade in it, but i always prefer it warm and flat....same for my cider.
There is a wine i like, its very sweet and traditionally called a dessert wine. Its by browns brothers and the flavour is orange and muscrat. I serve this over loads of ice cubes and its delish.

Boddingtons is a good substute for larger but if you realy want a real larger or cider strike me down and kill me for saying this !!!! but if you add a few grains of sugar to your drink and stir alot it de fizzes i have been known to do this in the past but i havnt done it for ages as i feel it prob is cheating the band if you cant tolerate it you shouldnt adapt it, and drink fruit juice with a spirit after all its one of your five a day 2 a day if you have malibu as malibu is a fruit????!!!xxx

Maybe Baileys as an occasional tipple is ok but the following data really brings home the calories / fat content in it - a recommended serving is 37ml so thats probably a pub measure?!

Maybe I'll try wine with slim line, only concern with fizzy as I have read on here that even if you let the bubbles die you shouldn't drink it as they can reactivate in your stomach ??? Or is that more coke they tell you to avoid???
Oh confusing lol xx
