I have not had a drink since New Years, so no problem here with that at all. I read about the challenge and wanted to share what I found on carbs for drinks:

Beer
12-ounce regular beer: 13g carb, 150 cal
12-ounce light beer: 5g carb, 100 cal

Wine/Champagne
6-ounce white wine: 1.4g carb, 120 cal
6-ounce red wine: 3g carb, 128 cal
6-ounce rose' wine: 2.5g carb, 128 cal
6-ounce sweet dessert wine: 21g carb, 270 cal
6.5-ounce champagne: 6.5g carb, 163 cal
Straight up: A 1.5-ounce of any 80 proof has zero carbs and 100 calories.

Vodka drinks
Vodka Collins (1.5 oz vodka, 3 oz sweet/sour mix, 3.5 oz club soda): 17g carb, 175 cal
Vodka Martini (2.5 oz vodka, spash of dry vermouth, 2 olives): 0g carb, 184 cal
Bloody Mary (1.5 oz vodka, 4.5 oz Mr & Mrs. T. Bloody Mary Mix): 5g carb, 123 cal
Seabreeze (1.5 oz vodka, 4 oz cranberry juice, 1 oz grapefruit juice): 18g carb, 172 cal

Rum drinks
Daiquiri (1.5 oz rum, 5 oz Mr & Mrs. T. Daiquiri Mix): 49g carb, 314 cal
Rum & Coke (2 oz rum, 4 oz regular cola): 13g carb, 182 cal
Rum & Diet Coke (2 oz rum, 4 oz diet cola): 0 carb, 133 cal

Tequila drinks
Frozen Margarita (2 oz tequila, 4.5 oz Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix, salt): 27g carb, 246 cal
Margarita on the Rocks (1.5 oz tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz fresh lime juice): 8g carb, 182 cal
Long Island Ice Tea (3/4 oz each tequila, rum, gin and vodka; ½ oz triple sec, splash lemon juice, 2 tsp. sugar, splash of cola) 8g carb, 275 cal

Gin drinks

Gin Martini (2.5 oz gin, spash of dry vermouth): 0 carb, 175 cal

Whiskey drinks
Whiskey Sour (1.5 oz whiskey, 3 oz sour mix, splash of cherry juice and bitters): 17g carb, 175 cal
Manhattan (2.5 oz whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth): 4g carb, 210 cal

Look at the carbs and empty calories you are putting in your body with just one little drink. Hope this will help to get your stalls moving. So nice of AFWife to get it going. I found the info here: Here
