looking for a really lite beer

The girlfriend says mgd64 isn't bad. If you're going to be drinking "real" beer, then you can't go wrong with guinness - 210 calories but gosh if they aren't worth it I don't know what is :drinker:

MGD 64 sucks! It only has like 2.5 percent alcohol, that's how it has so few calories. So you'd have to drink 2 to get the same effect as 1 regular (even lite) beer. I'm not a big fan of Michelob Ultra either...doen't really like the taste. I tried Budweiser Select (100 cal) and it's pretty good. Miller Chill isn't too bad, tastes good on a hot summer day by the pool. My favorite beers aren't lite at all though, most around 150 calories each. Alaskan Summer Ale is a really yummy one. Mmmmmmm.

Bud Select is pretty awesome. I'm trying my best to only drink on the weekends and keep it light. It's hard though! I've just never been the same since college lol :drinker:

Becks light is pretty good to, and it only has like 64 calories:drinker:

If you're only doing a couple every once in a while, don't worry about which one has less calories, prepare for it, find a beer you like, get the information, and work it into your schedule. I prefer Sam Adams light, cuz it still tastes good, it's high in calories for a light (125 cals for a 12 oz, or about 158 for a 16 oz bottle and about 10 g of carbs. But I work it into my plan. If I have 4 one night. I'll work out for about 45 minutes that day, gain about 500 extra calories, and then the next day I'll do another 1/2 hour workout, and not only are those calories made up for, I worked off extra.

Remember, not EVERY day has to be a deficit, some can be at maintenance or even slightly above, that won't make you ruin your routine, infact, it may energize you and let you keep going stronger then ever. Plus it gives your body a break from the constant labor of working without enough calories. As long as it's done infrequently (every couple of weeks) and to moderation. Nothing good will come if you drink 10 beers in one day (famous last words).

Oh come on now. You know it's not alcohol that's bad, it's that we drink TOO MUCH alcohol that's the bad part. Heck, I have my little mini-binges once every 6 weeks or so (maybe6 beers), but if you keep it to an infrequent minimum, alcohol's fine. It's when you drink 2 or 3 beers 3 to 4 times a week that you're going to start to find yourself in serious trouble, especially for us folks over 30 where the metabolism just isn't what it was when we were 22.
