Have you tried MGD 64 or Bud Select 55?

Same deal for me. Need to drop some pounds and wife pointed out the beer I was drinking was almost 300 cals a pop.

Bud Select as someone else pointed out is very watered down tasting but it's still OK. I prefer Mich Ultra to Bud Select, it's like 95 cals per.

Haven't tried the MGD 64 yet.

Mich Ultra is pretty solid, IMO. I can handle Bud Select, but I've always preferred very light beers to the thicker stuff.

Your better off shedding holiday weight by drinking less, exercise, and proper dieting. I will do any of these three before I take away my occasional micro-brew or bud heavy.

The Bud was like water that somebody spilled beer into. I'm no beer snob but it was horrible.

I'm not a fan of either, but I know people who do drink it will add a slice of lime or orange wedge to help the flavor a little bit.

Be a man and drink real beer. You may be surprised to learn that Guiness Draught only has 126 calories.

most light beers have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-125 calories (Millerlight, bud light, coors light, etc.). however the difference in how much crappier tasting mgd 64/bud select 55 is than normal light beers is not worth the extra 50 or so calories IMO. plus, if you're drinking beer to get drunk, you're going to need to drink so much more of the super low cal beer to get drunk anyway that your caloric intake basically comes out a wash with if you'd just been drinking regular light beer in the first place.

that being said, if you're drinking beer just because you like beer and not to get drunk, then why in the hell are you drinking light beer to begin with?

if you want to drink on the low cal, start drinking wine or liquor. much easier to play the calorie game with these than it is beer. if your dead set on beer, cut out something else in your life (fast food, soda, etc.). drinking crappy beer on a regular basis is miserable, just ask any homeless man or hawkeye fan

cutting 50 calories a beer isn't going to make you drop holiday weight. If you drink soda, just stop drinking that all together and drink whatever beer you like. Soda (even diet) will make you put on the pounds faster than anything. When you crave a soda, just drink water. After a week or so your body will stop wanting it altogether. Also, it's not all about calories, so just "cutting calories" won't do the trick. It's what makes up those calories. (sugar, fake/processed fats vs. nutrient dense food).

Be a man, drink your beer and overcome your cravings for crap.

why not just buy a six pack for yourself and pick the one you like best? really when it comes down do it it is still fizzy yellow beer regardless of the label. they all taste pretty much the same...like crap. "american style light lagers" are ***** beers no matter which allegiance you choose.

I don't think you're correct on the diet soda.
