A good way to lose weight is to limit your alcohol consumption. However, the school starts in 4 days and well...I'm in college :-D

Here is a list I found (courtesy of SparkPeople) of 10 cocktail recipes that contain 150 calories or less each. I will definitely be replacing the drink menu at my next party with these skinny versions! Happy drinking (but please drink responsibly)!

Squeeze one wedge of lime and one wedge of orange into 1 ounces of cranberry flavored vodka. Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass. Top with club soda and serve.

1 ounce of orange juice and three ounces of chilled champagne served in a champagne flute. 

3. Mini Margarita- 80 calories, 0g fat:
