I guess I am of the mindset that if you are counting calories or concerned with your waistline, you shouldn't be drinking beer to begin with.  On the other hand, I know people that have claimed to have drank so much lite beer that it is now what they like, nostalgia or some other b.s. reason...

If you are drinking to get drunk, go for the hard stuff and you will get there much faster.  I doubt saving 40 calories will make you skinnier.

the more you drink , the fewer calories you will consume?

only because most of those calories will end up somewhere other than your stomach.

AMEN! If I had to drink light then I'd just quit altogether. Nearly every one of them is plain swill.

I have no desire to drink "Light" beer. If that's what it takes for me to have to maintain weight, I can find sacrifices elsewhere...

+1  And when you're a cheap drunk like me, why not buy what tastes good?

Exactly!

I just popped a Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron. It may be the blackest beer I've ever poured. Light does not pass thru it.

Pause (taking a sip)

Oh that's good stuff...

I drink it because I dont want to get fat. I drink for effect not taste most of the times.
There is no fat in beer. People get fat from eating nacos and hot dogs while sitting in front of the tv all weekend watching sporting event and movies.
