Best drinking strategy??

[yankeedoodle]

Hi. Im new here and have just started weight watchers to lose the weight Ive gained since moving to Ireland. I am doing the quick start on 18 points per day (including the 2 pts added for 200ml of skim milk). I am 24 and go out on the weekends with friends and was wondering if anyone who has been on ww for a while has any good advice for drinks?? I was thinking vodka and no sugar added Robinsons. It says on the ww website that a screwdriver is 3 points, counting the orange juice so im guessing this is prob about 2pts? Im worried that this will interfere with my weight loss even though I am counting my drinks in as points. Any ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks!!

vodka and diet coke then u just point the vodka which is either 0.5 o 1 point

so if you save 4 points in a day thats atleast 4 voddys

i think most spirits are low points just have diet drinks with it

a 25ml pub measure of malibu is 0.5pts with diet coke. but yeah saving points during the week or earning more through activity points is probably the best way forward

Jumping on this old thread but could someone advise the points for a measure or Jack Daniels and Gin... and while I'm at it a bottle of Becks and Bud!

Thanks
