Sure. Counting calories is important.

Yes, but I’d have to order double the usual number of rounds.

Here's a secret: Add 50% seltzer and 50% your favorite beer to get half the calories, half the cost and most of the flavor of a light beer

    Michelob Ultra is low-carb and 4.2% alcohol.

      That's why I drink Michelob Ultra. Tastes great too!

        Make and sell anything you want, just don't replace real beer with this crap

        The good thing about the ultralight's is you can drink them all day and not gain any water weight. Yum yum... I'll drive!

          That stuff sucks! If you want to drink beer, then drink beer, real beer.

            I drink Miller Lite which is as light as I'm going to get. The other stuff is flavored water.

              Drink beer because it tastes good, not because you're "having a beer." That goes for the full caloried Bud, Coors, etc. as well.

                Being an IPA guy, I find it difficult to choke down a regular lager, much less a low cal beer.  To each his own!!!!!

                  I drink Becks Premier Light, 64 calories. Love it!

                    I think the Military calls it near-beer. It is nice to be an adult and think for myself. No watered down food or drink for me, but than again I also drink water out of a well or a tap and that is not how the kids do it, they drink what they think is good, bottled water, colored, no less with coloring that used to be considered poison. The Egyptians drank whole beer and built the pyramids with out a heavy duty crane and they are at least still standing. So much for looking pretty and a lot of men today are very pretty.

                      Drink what you will, but I'll have to pass. An ocassional Bud Lt on the golf course or boat is my limit. I'd rather have a couple of 250 -300 calorie monsters and call it a day. Here's to beer. Semper Lager

                        They've already ruined American beer now.

                        They took most of everything worthwhile out of it.

                        I've always thought Lite Beer is mouthwash.
