    I would say go with a light beer like MGD 64/Bud Select 55/ or Mic Ultra over the Vodka and Diet. Even the diet has a lot of ingredients that your body can't process.

    Honestly, the calories in drinks (beer etc) come from the alcohol, not the carbohydrate! So there is really no point in drinking light beer (unless you like the taste) as the alcohol content is the same.

    Actually, the light beers like those mentioned above have a significantly lower alcohol content then regular beer. For example, MGD is 143 cals, 4.9 % alcohol. MGD light is 110/4.2, and finally, MGD 64 is, obviously, 64 cals, but has only 2.7 % alcohol. This is why the lowest-cal beers aren't good for people who intend to drink for an effect-- need to consume more!

    my apologies, i was thinking of low carb beers, not low calorie. but still, honestly that is not a huge difference in calories as far as i'm concerned...but to each their own :)
