What alcholic drinks are tolerable?

I want to preface this question by saying: a) I do not drink regularly -- maybe once every month or two; b) I will not drink alcohol until I've cleared it with my surgeon, and that won't be for at least a few more months; c) I recognize that alcoholic beverages are empty calories. I state all this up front so that hopefully I can avoid recriminations and hostility. Now, the question: I am going on vacation in a few months, and would like to be able to have a drink while I'm out with friends. What alcoholic drinks are most tolerable -- I (obviously) want to avoid sugar, and I would imagine, carbonated beverages. Can anyone tell me what they've drank -- and how it has affected them? Thanks in advance.
