    Most of the parties I go to are byob, so depending on the circumstances, I'll bring a 6 or 12 of macro to give away and bring me own beer, hoping that not too much of it is consumed by others. In other words, I don't have to be "that guy". I just make sure not to bring glasses or any 750s.

    I used to drink light beer pretty often, but I stopped about 5 years ago. Now, if I'm at a party or wedding and the only beer offered is something like this (Bud Light, Miller Lite), I drink bourbon.

    If I wanted a lighter "beer," I'd have a Kaliber. Not to sound judgemental; drink what you like, when you like, where you like. Don't take offense, but to me a "Light/Lite" beer is like "decaf" coffee. What's the point, other than putting more miles on your bladder/kidneys?

    If it's not "craft" beer, and something I want on top of that, I drink diet soda. For instance, I went to a BBQ place last night. Taps were Fat Tire, Sam Adams seasonal, Pyramid hefe and Bud Light. I had Diet Pepsi.

    The only light beer I drink is Medalla Light, and that is because:

    1) I drink it in Puerto Rico when I'm there(the only place it's readily available)
    2) It's perfect for the humid 90 degree weather out there
    3) I'm usually drinking massive amounts of hard liquor as well

    Any time I'm drinking beer in the States proper, it's "regular" craft beer.

    I've been known to drink a light beer on occasion, but mostly on vacations when there might not be another choice. Went down to Cabo with my wife and some friends this last February and drank a ton of Corona Lights and Pacifico Lights. For some reason they went down real nice while laying out on the beach. :slight_smile:

    When I'm flying home from a week on the road, I usually fly Southwest. My "go to" on the plane is Michelob Ultra. It's OK.

    I like coors light. I am ashamed to admit it but I also like bud light from time to time. Mostly I drink stouts and founders. Coors is my go to for refreshment. I probably have drank 1000 coors beers since my birthday. I drink them while outside working or fishing. It has a place. I drink a lot of light beer and macros now a days as well as craft. Coors is good for a hot day or fishing or when I am just chilling out.

    No. It may be hip to hate them, but they also aren't specifically too good.

    I will admit to drinking a cold Coors Light when offered to me in hot weather. Drinking it cold is the key because when it gets warm it's crap. I'll never purchase it though, it must be offered :wink: Does that make me a 'beer snob'? I can live with that, lol!

    I bought some coors light for 14 for a 18 pack. Drank a bunch of them at the pay lake Friday and brought the rest today my buddy drank 3 and I had 9 of them. I drink coors a lot. It's perfect to me because I drink a lot of it without getting wasted. I once drank a 24 pack of it in one day and never got drunk keep in mind it was like 3 every few hours. I like its flavor. It's good and a solid macro. Not memorable In any sense, but is my session beer. Bud light is like carbonated water. Coors has a bit more flavor. I actually sometimes drink coors because I get in the mood to drink them.

    Light/Lite beer? Nope. I'll just have one 12 ounce of a "real" beer instead of 3 light beers. More flavor, more satisfying, same calories.

    Besides, light beer? No, thanks in general.

    I will drink a pale ale, a wit, a wheat, a white a cream ale, or a blonde as the case may be, a pils, a lager and even an adjucnt lager. ( crafted or BMC as I did try an adjunct by a craft brewery called Upstate)

    I drink a couple of AALs often enough, but not any light lagers. PBR and High Life.

    I actually rather like Yuengling Light Lager. It has a more delicate flavor than the regular stuff, but with a drier finish. I actually feel like if they dry-hopped it, it would be a pretty good beer, what with the dryness and all. But as-is, I like it just fine. Goes well with golf, or the beach. Because, cans.
