"Lite" beer drinkers, a few questions...

Doesn't strike me as the least bit inappropriate for this thread

In fact, if ANY thread deserves that, it's THIS thread

[Ken]

Gotta go w/PSU on this one. Regardless of the point to drinking copious amounts of beer at any given time, at least make it worth it.

[PSUFAN]

Yippee!

A "you aren't cool because you don't drink what I drink" thread.

Stick to what you know, cunt.

sincerely, not your password

[Cuda]

I thought this was another one of PUSFAN's "Maybe They Won't Think I'm Such a Douche if I Act Like a {insert subject here} Snob" threads

[PSUFAN]

yeah, well at least I didn't wytch more shit onto my ass, CTRL-threadkiller

[Ucant#-463,721]

That'd be like someone wytching Chelsea Charms' tits even bigger than they already are.

I'm going over to Subway and I'm going to eat about 3 feet of sandwich, those 6 % fat or less sandwiches and wash it down with a Coors Light that I snuck under my gut flap. I figure that if I stay on this regimen that I'll weigh about 136 by next summer.

Lite Beer is for Brownie Hounds.

[Screw_Michigan]

I honestly think most people just don't know any better. Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, etc., all happen to be the #1 beers the television tells you to drink -- so that's precisely what all the clueless dumbfucks do.

Yeah, I'm sure there's no correlation at all with billions of marketing dollars and lite beer drinkers. Nope. I'm sure they've all chosen the lite route because it's a more "economically sound" choice, and because of the "obviously" greater health benefits. Yup, because every lite beer swiller I see is in tremendous physical shape.

people drink light beer because it's as least offensive as beer gets. there are tons of people out there who dislike the taste of "good" beer and beer altogether, but they'll drink bud light and miller light because it as close to pure water as beer gets. but a bells amber ale? disgusting...

also, in my experiences, i'll take light beer if i'm trying to maintain a buzz over an eight hour period (say, while tailgating) instead of regular beer.

Obviously you're a homosexual.

It doesn't matter. There is no excuse for drinking lite beer EVER. You are obviously gay.

Which falls under my "they don't know any better" category. Nobody liked the taste of any beer after one sip. Except for the Kennedys. The idea is that you develop a palate for a wider arrange of beers simply by, well...drinking a lot of different stuff. If all you're accustomed to is cases of Beast Light on the weekends, then yeah, an IPA is probably going to be rejected by your taste cells, hence the reason many people don't like the taste of "good" beer, as you say.

But this really wasn't supposed to be a, one should choose "one extreme or the other" type argument.

Is there really such a vast difference in "offensiveness" between Bud and Bud Light that one would opt for the lesser alcohol content of the two?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

As far as not wanting to get drunk as quickly, well I've got a brilliant solution...slow down your drinking. Don't make this more complicated than it has to be, folks.

[Wolfman]

holy crap--I checked the calendar
--of course I agree with the man from
Rochester NY on this one !!

of course I like beer/ale other than Beast Light
--when I travel I try local brews if available

so all the beer snobs can take a hike on this topic !!

[Trampis]

-I'm Cheap
-I cut every fucking calorie out of my eating and drinking I can
-I just want a buzz,nothing more
-Heavy beer makes for a bloated feeling Trampis

At least give me limited props for drinking the cheaper Keystone,Busch Light over the more expensive Bud,Coors,Miller lite.

[The Seer]

Can't drink beer hardly at all any more..save for the monthly poker game....too bloating....gotta go with the hard stuff......or wine & vicodin.......

[Louis Cyphre]

Fuck off, all you beer snobs! You are all jealous that Budweiser is the king of beers! I should know, I own their stock!

So drink liquor.

Exactly.

Light beer -- 3.2 in my case, so to speak -- makes a nice chaser to Jim Beam, especially for those of us in Oklahoma who can't plan ahead by buying fancy-schmancy "imported" beer, like Rolling Rock or Lone Star, before the liquor stores close at 9 p.m., so we can be back home planning church socials and reading the Bible.

[orcinus]

Stone Mill ... mmmm.

[RadioFan]

Careful, Bro. Jim Talent may try to take on the Bushes. :wink:

Btw, Fuck You.

[Rack Fu]

I don't mind light beer per se. I don't go out of my way to buy it but I'll drink it.

No. Part of it is getting my oral fixation.A dainty two finger whiskey drink will only serve a few oral fixes whereas a 12 oz beer will touch my lips at least a half dozen times. Sipping isnt an option,I only gulp.

I probably set myself up for some epoch gay smack,oh well.

Too late.

[Mister Bushice]

If you drink lite beer to avoid the extra calories, but have to drink 15 of them to get the buzz that 4 beers gives ya, you're a fucking idiot.

[Tiberious]

I drink it because I don't want to be like you and it is so much better than "heavy" beer. Why walk around feeling like hell all day.

set up? that wasn't a set up for gaxsmack, it was a straight up outing of yourself. No need to pile on.

[Nishlord]

Great thread.

Those Man Law adverts are hilariously weak. Like the beer.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

You goddamned lite swillers are engaging in activities that make the Brits call us pussies.

That ain't good.

Sac-up. We've got a reputation to protect, and you're bringing us down.

[Katy]

1. How on Earth can you drink that shit?
2. WHY?
3. Do you ever just resort to urine? Is there a perceptible difference?

1. It's not all that bad...after you get used to the watered down flavor.
2. The calories in beer is astounding...
3. No, can't say that I have.

[Dinsdale]

I'll drink lite beer. That's not the issue. It certainly blows, but what blows more is turning down free beer, of any kind.

Oh, don't get me wrong -- Youboughts is my very favorite brand.

Could be that it was Dinsy arguing against lite beer by citing a theme FROM A LITE BEER COMMERCIAL.

Wow...aren't you a quick one?

Ok, that's it you bunch of children

Dude, I certainly hope you're not in the USA.

Newsflash, dipshit...American import Heiny is fucking Budweiser in a different bottle. Tell me you knew? Busch is a very, very evil corporate entity, and they're attempting to take over the entire world's brewing.

Heiny is pretty much ass.

And always remember the Golden Rule of Beersnobbery -- never step to a U&Ler when it comes to beer...we'll only laugh.

Although it was a product of Socal's Stone Brewing that contributed to my gooey turds this morning...Arrogant Batsard was readily available to me for my Fall Classic viewing pleasure. I'd have to say Stone Brewing is probably the best non-U&L craft brewery that I've come across. Of course it was Mirror Pond that finished the job last night, after the game. And I'm damn glad I didn't nail that dirty old skank last night...big ups to me for keeping a clear head while that hammered.

[Dinsdale]

2. The calories in beer is astounding...

Ah, let's take a moment to ponder the unbelievably effective marketing strategies of the piss-peddlers...


Hello?

Uhm, the vast majority of calories in any alcoholic beverage(mixers withstanding) come from...the alcohol.

Duh.

It must suck drinking something that horrendous, when the reason for doing it is based on a lie.


More ethanol = more calories. Less ethanol = less calories. Carved-in-stone...no magic shortcuts, no bullshit marketing strategies.

If getting drunk off light beer is something you do, you're a sucker...period. The carories come from the alcohol...if you drank enough to catch the same buzz, you consumed just as many calories...mathmatical fact.

Sure, darker brews will have more carbohydrates...but it still amounts to a hill of beans compared to the alcohol calories, which unlike the carbs, provide no nutritional benefit, save for the short-lived quick energy burst(which the sedative effects of the alcohol quickly overcome, generally by the time you finish your first drink).

But feel free to let corporate entities tell you to drink shitty brew that's cheaper for them to produce...did you really think that those corporations gave two shits about your health?

[Katy]

When I drink beer, it's a lite beer. I'm not a big time drinker and it's rare for me to have more than 5 drinks an entire year. But when I do drink..whether it's alcohol, soda, coffees, etc., I count calories.

[Mister Bushice]

And I'm damn glad I didn't nail that dirty old skank last night..

tempted by the family dog again I see.

[Dinsdale]

tempted by the family dog again I see.

Well, the crazy-hot-absolutely-smoking-hottie I had the sight set on didn't quite pan out :SHOCKER: .


But Dirty Old Skank sure tried to swoop in on the aftermath. I must be getting old or something, because I was about three sheets to the wind, and my brain still managed to overcome Little Dins.

I'm fairly proud of myself this morning, actually.

[Luther]

Dins, I'll shake your hand right after you wash it.

About all I drink anymore is Sam Adams and Sam Adams Light, typically the light. If I'm in for a marathon drinking session I'll usually start with 4-5 Sam's and then the other dozen or so will be lite beer.
