Can't beat a good drinking session with my mates - it's my main vice!

Want to know what the lowest calorie Lager or Beer is available in the UK?

Any ideas? I know in the US there a more lite beers on offer than over here - and would rather just drink the lowest calorie 'original' lager or beer not a lite one...

Any info would be great - as i'm on the lash tomorrow and want to know what to buy!

cheers! :drinker:

    When I used to drink lager I went for Budweiser lite as I think at the time this was the lowest in calories.

    If you drink spirits vodka and diet coke is the best for calories.

    Alternatively enjoy your nite out but do more exercise the day before and day after to compensate.

    Have fun!!

    I know you can get Bud Light in bottles in the UK, you can also get low cal versions of Magners and Bulmers (if you drink cider).

    I stick with vodka and slim tonic if I'm out drinking, it's when I get to the end of the night and everyone else wants to go for a curry that my will power is truly tested!

    Coors is on draft in a number of pubs now and is a very nice lager and much lower in calories than the average.

    Yeah Coors is good! and the end of the night burger/kebab/indian is always the main test!

    Cheers for the suggestions ppl! :drinker:

    8 or 10 bottles later though Miss Rikki - that is scary! Guess the gym solution is the answer! I try to go 3-5 times a week! but this snow has buggered that plan up!

    Will check out drinkaware too!

    Thanks again! :happy:

    Haven't heard of that before - must be a weak beer? As for the Gin and soda - I don't mind a Gin n Tonic sometimes like - but when I'm out...don't think I could pull it off on a session with the boys! haha :laugh:
