Do you drink "light" beer?

No

 

Hardly ever anymore these days. Every now and again I'll have some Bud Light Platinum, but I don't even think that's really a light beer. If that doesn't count, the last time I had light beer was at the Giants-Steelers game last November. Bud Light normal.

As for "admitting" to it, I have no problem as I don't see what the big deal is. While I don't care much for light beer I still like cheap, strong lagers.

I still haven't tried Sam Adams Light which I heard is pretty decent.

 

Only one we get in the UK seems to be Coors Light. I've never had it, as I assume it's not very good.

 

Yep.
No apologies.
I drink what I want, when I want

 

Are they cheaper than their regular counterparts? Is that why people buy them or is it an attempt to be healthy?

 

miller high life anyone? tis the champange of beers after all.. but seriously $4.99 a six pack I'd drink that

 

I usually drink with the lights off.

 

I couldn't say it any better myself.

 

I drink Pilsners, Helles Bocks/Lagers, Kolsches, Saisons, Vienna Lagers, Blonde Ales, American Pale Lagers, and plenty other lighter styles. I don't drink low calorie beers, and can't remember the last time I had anything from a Macro (I take that back, I have had Goose Island Sofie a couple times this summer). That does not mean other people should avoid them if they want to drink them. I don't judge. That doesn't stop other people from judging me though

 

Only time I drink light beer is when it is 95 degrees and humid and I am in the middle of an intensive physical labor project around the house. Other then that almost never. I would estimate that it amounts to less then a case of light beer a year.

 

No, but I usually try to keep a few 4-5% craft beers on hand in case I want something lighter.

I'd suggest Guinness though, it's not great, but pretty good for ~125 calories.

 

Oberon is great!
Oh you mean beers with "light" in the name?
No.

 

Yerp.

Because sometimes it sounds good. And sometimes it's the only beer available. I know a lot of people on BA dislike them enough that they will not drink it if it's the only thing available - they will drink water or whatever else. That's fine. But I don't hate it enough to not drink a beer at all if I want a beer.

EDIT: However, in reference to the "light/lite" part, if its "regular" counterpart is available (i.e., Coors Banquet, Budweiser, Miller High Life/MGD, etc.), I will always opt for that over the light/lite version.

 

Coors light when I am not at home

 

Yes. I like beers.

 

I dont thats classified as a light beer but its pretty good for what it is.

 

No, I drink beer for the flavor mostly (the %abv of most craft beer is a nice bonus too) so if I want something that doesn't taste interesting I'll just have a diet soda instead.

 

Yes - I drink Guinness.
