    Bud light lime is tastey, 116 calories. Usually is my beer of choice.
    If you want a really cheap beer trying using something like Select 55 (only 55 calories) and add some lime juice in.

    Beck's makes a light beer that has 65 calories or something like that. I have been drinking the Bud Selects that have 55 calories. They are nice and light, but don't give you a buzz at all.

    Sam Adams Light with 119 Calories.

    I prefer dark beer, so this kind of holds me over....though right now I am avoiding alcohol.

    Yuengling makes a good light beer, and I also like Michelob Ultra Light a lot. Those are my faves :)

    I love beer too...so i switched to budselect 55.. i like the smooth taste without losing the beer flavor. I especially love it not only for the low calories...but i have no more hangovers/headaches....you still get to have fun..but kinda double fun watching what alcohol does to everyone else and you get to sit back and enjoy knowing your not the one with regrets in the am..lol

    I'd rather drink one good beer compared to two low cal beers.

    i like michelob ultra.. apparently there is a rapberry flavored one, but i have yet to try it. the super low calories beers have less alcohol in them, so you really have to drink twice as much to get the same buzz as with a regular light beer.

    I like sleeman clear. It's 90 cals per bottle. It is a light beer though, so probably not ideal if you prefer the thicker/darker or heavier beers.

    I don't know if this has been said already, but Michelob Ultra is a great tasting light beer. It is super low on carbs and calories, and you can't even tell!

    I refuse to drink crappy beer from a can, and Amstel Light is 95 calories so that's usually my choice if they have it.

    I also enjoy beer that isn't low-cal and it hasn't hurt my diet since it's not an every day thing for me (or 10 in a night, seriously that's what wine and vodka is for, don't get beer-drunk! It's inefficient!)

    ^^^ Me, too.

    I'd rather drink one good beer a week and stick to water the rest of the week than drink crappy unenjoyable beer every day.

    To each their own, but when I drink a beer, I want to savor every wonderful calorie-laden drop.

    Good beer + 30 minutes on the elliptical > light beer.

    Bud light lime is tastey

    Miller Light doesn't make me angry. I currently live in Kentucky, and Kentucky Light (brewed by Alltech Lexington Brewing Co.) is pretty tasty. Otherwise, I tend to agree with the poster above who said they'd rather drink one good beer than two crappy ones.

    I don't tolerate artificial sweeteners well, so will instead opt for a "non-beer" at about 70 calories. O'Douls if very very COLD will take care of the beer crave for me.

    The other option is the cute little bottles of corona called coronitas.

    Hope these two ideas help.

    A 12oz serving of Guiness has 125 calories, 9.8 grams of carbs, and it's alcoholic content is 4.2%. Drink one and you'll be more satisfied than having two light beers.

    Also, the calories in each gram of pure alcohol is 7 calories, more than a gram of carb/protein and less than fat, so keep that in mind.

    As important it is to enjoy yourself, it's also important to realize that alcohol and muscle growth don't really pair well. Moderation is paramount.

    Molson Canadian 67 - 67 calories, no sugar, 1 gram of carbs!! WAY better than Coors light but not as tasty as Bud Lite Lime - BUT you can have two for the caloric price of one BLL = approx. 120 cals!

    I switched to Miller 64 and Bud Select 55. I have to put lemon and lime in them... and then they taste MUCH better.... :drinker:
    (Miller 64 has 2.4 carbs and Bud Select 55 has 1.9.)

    If you love beer, enjoy the good stuff in moderation.

    Short answer- No

    Long answer- Try Guinness. Light as a Bud Light, but has at least SOME taste.

    I do not drink beer often, but here lately I have drank Michelob Ultra a few times. I think it has 95 cal.

    The lowest I've seen is Labatt 52. It all tastes pretty ick compared to good beer (which I love!), but I'll drink one occasionally. To me a 52 calorie beer is just as barely-beer-y as any light beer with 100+ calories, so these do the job for me.

    Castle light... best low cal beer IMHO.. light on calories yet full of strength still... I don't like this whole light beer = low alcohol.. I WANT THE ALCOHOL! :P
