Oh baby. I never gave up red wine (dry, not sweet)
White and blush are fine too.
All clear alcohol - Vodka, Rye, Whisky, Bourbon -- all are fine. Beware the mixers. Anything "Crystal Light" goes with Vodka. Scotch, Rye and Whisky all work with club soda. Use diet coke as an alternate to full strength.
And Beer - yes, all light beer ranges around 12 carbs a bottle. Go for it. Most people have a limit of 50 carbs a day - take a fifth and live a litte.
Oh, never! LOL! Dry is the only way to go. Besides, it has wonderful antioxidents, "clears your pipes," and is low in sugar to boot. Absolutely! :)

Ah yes. Always. I never drink "regular" sodas, way to much sugar for my taste, anyway.
I love Diet Coke w/ a twist of lime. Unfortunately, I *love* it with shot of Coconut rum for taste.
(dreaming of being back on Grand Cayman now....)
I really have to watch that, because the sugars can add up.
(fortunately, one will just about do for me!)

I've actually grown accustomed to Michelob Ultra. Usually it's two at the most, if I'm feeling especially festive. I don't drink it often though.
But every once in awhile, I'd love to have a good, dark beer with dinner. Any ideas on how much is in just one bottle?
South Beach recommends avoiding all alcohol except wine in moderation (1 glass) I know for certain alcohol messes up my blood sugar and makes my blood pressure go up. I also stop weight loss with any amount in my diet. All these viewpoints sure make it hard to tell if they are preaching or meddling.
