Captain_Maclaine posted:I'm going to come clean here: I just don't get what the appeal of light beer is supposed to be. Light beers are something that you can drink all day. They're a lot less heavy (weighty? viscous? taste-intensive? Cases could be made for all three) than other beers, have less alcohol in them, and are almost always less expensive and more widely available.

I've had light beers that don't taste like anything at all. Piss would be a flavor at least. If it doesn't have at least as much flavor as like Yuengling why are you even bothering.

I have a tiny stomach and can't handle heavy beers, and I don't drink for the taste. If I'm drinking beer in the cul-de-sac out of a cooler, it's Miller Lite. The closest place within cycling distance has fourloko though, and that's easier on the wallet. I just have to work off the 700 calories per can.

It's like watching the last millenium all over again. Hey guys we have a great currency, everyone should use it. We have a better currency - and it only works with our currency! Wait, we already had a currency, stop loving things up! Hey, check out our new currency - only available here! Hey, that's three currencies, guys we already had a currency! Ignore him USE OUR CURRENCY. EDIT: And of course it's all about converting back to Dollars or Euros or whatever in the end, which makes it even more hilarious. Congrats, you've invented a worthless financial instrument and found a way to trade it for money. Wait until I tell you about CDOs.

Light beers serve an important purpose: help get you drunk before/during a sporting event. However not so drunk you vomit all over the person in front of you after yelling at the 3rd pick six your lovely qb has thrown. Or you know you want to just get drunk over the whole day. Like floating that's a good July way to get bombed.

I've decided to forego beer for the next however long because my girlfriend just lost her job today, in Portland, a city that's not exactly doing great unemployment numbers. Go go two people scraping by on a single income. Ironically, now all I want to do is drink.
