Nights out are on the menu!
Whether you’re meeting friends or heading for after work drinks with colleagues, you can enjoy yourself and still stay on track…
At the pub
If you’re heading out for a pint, choose a lager or bitter – at 5 Points® per serving, they won’t cost you as much as a pint of stout, which clocks in at 9 Points. Or try a low-alcohol lager, which is just 3 Points per pint. But if wine’s your drink of choice, you’ll save more Points by choosing red – it’s just 4 Points per medium glass, while the same quantity of white or rosé is 5.
At the party
Make your Points stretch further with wine spritzers or lager shandies made with sugar-free lemonade. Or if you want to be able to easily track your Points, go for a can of ready-mixed spirits and slimline tonic – most will be around 2 SmartPoints per can.
At the cocktail bar
If you love a cocktail, try Pimm’s made with sugar-free lemonade – it’s just 2 Points per glass and full of fresh fruit flavours! And if you’re looking to save your Points, try asking for your cocktail to be made ‘skinny’, or without flavoured syrup or a sugar-rimmed glass. You could also try a mocktail: many bars offer fruit-flavoured drinks made with sparkling water and diet fizzy drinks which don’t contain any alcohol.
