The first thing you need to pay attention to is the calorie content of each type of drink. As a rule of thumb, the sweeter the beverage, the more calories it has.You'll probably be able to save around 400-500 calories for alcohol. If you want to get tipsy, spend those on strong drinks. If not, go with cocktails, beer or wine. You'll be able to get 2 or 3 drinks for those calories.
Now, how exactly do you save calories for alcohol?
Most guys cut with around 2000 calories per day. To save 500 calories for night time, I recommend doing this:
Skip breakfast
You're probably busy in the morning anyway. Not eating for a few hours actually has appetite suppressing effects. If during the morning hours you drink sparkling water and a cup of black coffee you will not feel hunger until lunch time or afternoon.
Make your first meal small - protein and veggies
If you're on vacation you can easily get a salad with meat and low fat cheese at any restaurant. Protein and fiber are very filling and will stave of hunger even if the meal is only a few hundred calories.
Eat a big meal before going out drinking
Your dinner should include the rest of your food for the day. Make sure you get low fat meat and avoid sauces and oil. You want to keep your fat intake as low as possible.
Go out and enjoy yourself
You can now have 2-3 drinks and still remain in a deficit.
