    I drink Coors/Bud light occasionally. There's a time and place for every beer.

    I don't drink light beer, don't like it.

    I do however from time to time throw down 10-12 Miller High Life's while hanging around a bonfire.

    I do drink cheap beer from time to time but I usually opt for the non-light stuff. Naragansett is my go-to but I also enjoy Coors banquet on a hot summers day. BMC-lites are only when it's free at a party and I'm out of whatever beer I brought.

    When they make "COLT .45 Double Malt LIGHT", I will!

    If light beer is all that is being offered, I'll pass......

    Wise man say "Life's too short to drink cheap beer"

    Correct. Coors Light is the only American light beer currently available in Sweden, and even so it has a pretty marginal presence as it's sold in only 22 of 422 monopoly stores, having lost its placement in several stores, whereas Brooklyn Lager for example is currently sold in 137 stores and is going nationwide later this year thanks to its sales figures. I view this as a small victory for beer in Sweden :stuck_out_tongue:.

    Unfortunately the US is a non-winner:slight_frown: :

    “2012:

    1.Bud Light ($5,452,052,000)

    2.Coors Light ($2,056,722,000)

    3.Budweiser ($2,017,366,000)”

    I am pretty sure that Miller Lite is number 4.

    Cheers!

    Rarely. Usually to tick something new.

    Nope, never.
    No apologies either.
    I drink what I want when I want. That hasn't included a light AAL is some decades now (except as a joke or out of morbid sense of curiosity).

    No. I'd rather drink water.

    And yes, I'm serious. If I really am that concerned about calorie intake on a given day, I just don't drink beer. Seltzer fills the "refreshment" factor somewhat.

    Not in a long time.
    Craft session beers fill the need at home for easier drinking beer.
    Love me a good easy drinking lager, but still go with craft every time.
    Fortunately, can't remember the last time light BMC was my only option when out with friends or at an event.

    Ehh, I won't turn down a BMC if at a friend's and am offered it. As far as generally "light" beer however, I'll definitely order up my local light lager at a local brewery if that's the mood that strikes.

    For sure. But I am 24 and hang out with my friends from college sometimes and we drink cheap beer. I am not gonna spend 9.99 on a 6 pack to play drinking games.

    I will drink Blue Light or Corona Light if out and that's what is offered. Miller Light too

    If I don't want anything like that then pop or water do the trick.

    No. I'd rather not drink anything than drink that swill.

    No. I have had one lite beer (Amstel light) in the past 30 years...

    Fortunately, I don't have to worry about calories because I play soccer several time a week and have four boy's to chase around...

    Not a big fan of "lite" beers, though I do like AALs. I can drink 'em, with no problem. Miller Lite is alright, so are some others. I'll drink a Bud Light, but be prepared to hear me bitch incessantly about it.

    No. If I do drink "corporate beer", it is not going to be lite!!! All lite beer to me taste nasty and give me a headache even if I just drink one!! Most of my friends don't drink lite beer either so when I am with them at their place and offer me a "corporate" beer, I will drink that. I haven't purchased the evil empire beer in years!! Craft all the way!! Support the small boys!!!
