    best drink to drink while working out?

    hi hexus, i am in a sort of predicament here .

    I'm trying to increase my fitness through running and cycling but currently go out a couple of times a week drinking beers and i know how BAD these are for you i.e the crazy amount of calories and carbs e.t.c

    my question is what would be the best to drink on such occasions without ruining any type of fitness progress ?

    Water.

    You really can't get better than that, though I presume you mean which alcoholic drink can you have? I don't think there's a really good answer to that since alcohol itself is the main carbohydrate in drinks.

    Avoid anything with additional sugars in it, mixed drinks with full fat coke etc.

    Vodka and orange? (OJ being good for you )
    White Russian? (milk)

    Don't go for cider or Guinness, they are meant to be even worse in terms of calories

    I think that's an old wives tale about Guinness containing masses of calories, AFAIK it's got less than a strong lager!

    I suppose it depends WHAT you drink, I tried Magners light... but it tasted like watered down apple juice

    I don't drink often, so I still stick to Absinthe or Vodka.

    Vodka mixed with water? ahahahhhahahah :3

    I know people say that a half-a-glass/glass? of wine is good for you a day.

    That's for completely different reasons, red wine is full of antioxidants. It's still got a lot of sugars and alcohol in it as well.

    This is actually a really good one. When I decided to lose 10Kgs I gave up all booze except diet cranberry and vodka. If you stick a little dash of lemon juice in it, it is excellent. Without the lemon juice I find it a bit weedy and unsatisfying.

    If you can stand the thought, diet lager is pretty good too. I have a colleague who lost 3 Kgs in 2 months just from switching from lager to lite lager. He was less of a fool while out on the town too.
