I’ve never measured carbs in beer mates, I just love drinking ‘em. But then again this can prove to be very useful. I do bar reviews come visit my site to find out about local drinking in the Philippines.

I actually don’t care about the calories, just the carbs, so when I’m on my low carb diet, skinny dip is my favorite. Though you can’t find it in the winter easily. :)

(Unless all those folks are pairing their bland beers with their bland Fettuccini Alfredo Lean Cuisines.) My guess is that habitual light beer drinkers are not just drinking, they’re “drankin’”.

Example dialog:

Randy: “What did you do last night, man?”

Rodney: “Aw, just the usual, man- I went drankin’.”

There are lots of things that sell well that aren’t good- squirt cheese, iceberg lettuce, Folger’s Crystals, etc. Taste is subjective. I’m in it for good taste, and so light beer just isn’t at the top of my list.

Since light beer accounts for more than half of the beer sales in the U.S., seems kind of ballsy to claim that the people who drink them are “difficult to respect.”

You sound like a beer snob, not a geek, a snob. And what’s wrong with Lean Cuisine?

Sometimes I wonder if some people are born with taste-bud deficiencies.

Who knew all that flavor would weigh in so close to a light beer? I may just have to por myself another slice.

mmmmmm…. Guinness!
