Light beer isn't so bad that it will kill you. In a dire pinch, I'll drink it.

F.e., I was at a wedding this weekend and the only beers were Bud Light and Miller Light. I drank the Miller Light.

Amstel Light ain't bad. Neither is Sam Adams Light.

Oh don't get me wrong. Most of the times when I'm at a party that's all there is is light beer, because all the fat men want to lose weight I guess. I'll drink it, I just will not intentionally buy it and keep it at home.

As far as I'm concerned the whole diet trend is detracting from the quality of non-diet foods and booze. As more manufacturers try to improve the taste of food that will never in a billion ****ing years be palatable they neglect improving the real stuff.

You are aware that Light Beer refers to alcohol content?

I don't get light beer either. As for cheap beer, light beer isn't any cheaper than the non-light varieties, so why drink Bud Light or Miller Lite as opposed to Bud or Miller?

It refers to different things in different places. Here it refers to the caloric content, and while most of the times light beer will have a lower alcohol content (because they water it down) there are quite a few that are within 1.0% abv of the regular.

I know very well what a tailgate is, but unless you're a ****ing redneck, you drink good beer at all times. Awesome reasoning. So I suppose you make stew out of tenderloin as well?

Why drink Bud or Miller in the first place? Because they all taste as bad, but still taste different. Also, at the beach or on a boat of anywhere under the sun really, a lighter beer such as Amstel Light won't dehydrate you as fast.

Terrible argument. Unless you don't just drink the beer out of the can at a tailgate party?

Face it, you're a redneck. Tailgating at NASCAR races drinking bud light.

DISGUSTING. SHAMEFUL. THE SHAME IS IMMENSE.

And hockey fans making fun of NASCAR fans is rich. Are there any NASCAR fans in this thread, btw? You're from SC -- don't lie to me.

And yes, actually, I don't buy the cheap wine. If I'm to drink it, it's good ****.

The concept of standards is apparently foreign to you.

[erepsysoulpfbs]

What dehydrates is the alcohol content, and as Space05us already noted, light beer in the US does not always have less alcohol. But it very often does. Budwieser is 5%, Bud Light is 4.2% (Miller and Miller Light have the same difference) Amstel Light is 3.5%.

True. Cheapness is just one of any number of reasons.

[Npbfamgt]

If I'm at a bar, and the light beer is shockingly cheaper, and I have had it before and know it's not utterly vile, I'll switch to it when my tastebuds are shot and can't savor the good stuff.

Which, being Asian and all, means that I only have to buy two or three good beers.

This, of course, when I haven't decided to go the liquor route.

[JakilSong]

Slightly off topic, but does anyone else find the Bud light commercial ridiculous? By what standard is "drinkability" a word, much less a marketable trait.

[slima]

One glass of red wine a day is good for your heart

[Aminkaoo]

True, but that's not really relevant with Patty's line of argument that quality doesn't really matter if it's something casual like drinking wine at home or having a beer at a NASCAR race.

[orillaVar]

If you're going for being drunk, I can think of far more effective methods than crappy beer...

[AutoCadPhotoSHOP]

The only light beer I like is Sam Light. It's downright good.

The other light "beers" suck.

Personally, I think Sam Adams Light tastes funky.

But I usually drink Sierra Nevada or Summit or something equivalent.

After this weekend though, I may not be drinking at all. Sunday was rough.
