#98QBKiller Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 All light beer is ****ing swill, so I definitely couldn't take anyone seriously who got snobby and thought one brand was better than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Natty 30 pack for $13.75! But that's for drinking games. I don't mind drinking lite or dark beers. Then again I'm young when it comes to drinking beer and my tastes will probably change. I'm just now starting to enjoy coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I prefer a heavier beer, but if I am going light I prefer Miller Lite. Bud has a bad aftertaste, Coors is horrible. Miller Lite is my go to. But I will drink most of them and any of them over a Corona, or Corona Light. I don't know how anyone drinks a Heineken...light or otherwise.

BlueinBuf Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Miller Lite is my drink of choice, I mean hello it has a ****ing vortex. I'll drink Coors if i'm playing beer pong or something but not a big fan of it overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty dread Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Nothing wrong with a light beer now and then, especially on a hot summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homercles82 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The calorie and carb difference from my preferred Guinness to the typical light beers isn't that different so I never buy light. If I need cheap beer, hello Miller High Life 24 pack for $8.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I like Amstel Light and I'd probably migrate to a stand that sold it if I knew one existed nearby. Otherwise miller lite or coors light does the job. Bud light has a after taste for me that I'm not a fan of but it's not bad enough to disqualify it completely. I will not drink Natty light or Beast of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Why do you drink light beer? Is it because you want fewer calories? Is it because you don't like the flavor of regular beer? Is it because you plan on drinking alot and don't want to get too drunk? What is you rationale for drinking light beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedr01 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't really drink beer all that much anymore, the only light beer I really never liked was Coors Lite, but I think that had more to do with the fact it was the first beer I ever tried and I didn't really like it too much. Now mind you I still drink, not as much as I used to, but usually keep it to liquor, less carbs/sugar/calories. EDIT: If I'm gonna drink beer I will drink beer, not lite beer, they pretty much all taste like Natty now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most want to save on calories, but when you compare light beers to some regular beers you aren't saving much, at least not until you get to the true piss water beers, the ultra-low calorie beers. A beer at 55/64/92 calories? It has ultra low alcohol content so you might as move onto O'Douls or you will be drinking twice as many just to get a buzz, and in the process drink the same amount of calories. A bottle of Bud Light has 110 calories. Guinness Draught has 115. I know some of you don't like Guinness but a beer that many claim is "heavy" tasting has slightly more calories with a full taste. There are other options. Now, if you are drinking beer just to get hammered, then drink Natty Light or Bud Light Ice. Otherwise if you just enjoy a beer in the evenings drink a regular beer or two. ---------- Post added March-9th-2011 at 09:10 AM ---------- I don't really drink beer all that much anymore, the only light beer I really never liked was Coors Lite, but I think that had more to do with the fact it was the first beer I ever tried and I didn't really like it too much.

Popeman38 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Miller Lite kills my stomach. I get heartburn like you wouldn't believe. Hoever, I ain't walkin halfway around the stadium for a Bud Light! I will kill a Miller Lite and snag a Bud Light the next time a vendor comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Many studies have been done using the big three Light beers (Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Bud Light) in blind taste tests. The results have been conclusive that no one can actually taste the difference (a very small percentage, thus rendering it statistically negligible) between those three. In fact, Coors Light "when the mountains turn" blue brings it to such a cold temperature that taste buds can't function properly to discern differences in flavor. People say they can, but science and research says they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homercles82 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 What kind of whiskey has sugar?? Typically any distilled alcohols are zero carb.

SkinsHokieFan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I seem to be one of the few who has no trouble the next morning, after drinking lots of light beer. Although I have a strange resistance to hangovers. No matter how terribly drunk I get, or what beer/liquor I drink, I feel great the next morning. Bud Light is my preferred brand, but I'll drink any of them. Coors Light sucks ass though. So does Keystone, but that's the point....its cheap ****. Like drinking PBR. Or Steel Reserve. You know going in. I was that way at 21 Hangovers didn't start to hit me till around age 25. Now I rarely rarely drink if ever, so 2-3 drinks and the next morning sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where that info is coming from but it's not correct. Hard liquor does not have sugar unless it's added after distilling. The process of distilling turns sugars into alcohol. ---------- Post added March-9th-2011 at 09:26 AM ---------- I can taste the difference between Bud and the rest....I dont like the rice brewing technique - how in the hell is that considered American?

TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm with the OP...I can't really tell the difference between Bud Light or Miller Lite. Now, I can tell the difference between one of those two and Michelob Ultra (or any of those low-low-calorie beers). And, once the beers get a little darker, I can obviously tell the difference between Sam Adams or, say, Blue Moon. But, I never got the whole Red Team (Bud) vs. Blue Team (Miller) before.

Forehead Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I can't tell the difference between the big three, they all taste the same to me. And I drank enough of it in college when that was all we could afford. I'll admit I'm a beer snot now, I drink mostly Guinness, occasionally a Smithwicks, Harp or Bass, or I'll go to the Belgian place down the road and drink their Trappist beers which are all full flavored. Honestly, if you have the means to afford them, I can't understand why anyone would willingly pick a light beer, there's just no satisfaction in drinking them.

For me, it is good for a cheap beer. Something I can buy a case of and throw in the cooler, then not get mad when everyone starts grabbing them. It's taste is sufficient for cheap beer.
