So I bought a 12-pack of MGD 64. It wasn't hard to rationalize... 64 calories? Sure! I like the TV spot that shows a full glass of 64 vs. a 1/3rd of a glass of the regular beer. But to continue with an accurate representation would be to finish filling that glass with seltzer. Now alcohol isn't the reason we drink beer. To some it might even be an annoying by-product. So in those instances this is the solution you've been waiting for.
But for everyone else it's a light beer that has no finish at all and a lousy 2.8% of alcohol to boot. Say you're at a bar and want to at least get a buzz going. It will cost you far more to get loaded on 64 than a regular light. So in those instances what do you do?
Based strictly on calories you could have a glass of Michelob Ultra and enjoy a beer with only 95 calories that packs 4.1% of alcohol... Or you could indulge in a Molson Golden with 6% at 170 calories... Or if you want to make a statement you could get a Olde English 800 Ice with 7.9% at 216 calories. Or make a similar statement with the less-poundable Sam Adams Triple Bock which packs 17.5% in only 340 calories. You'll spend less time in the bar bathroom too.
An honest choice would be Pabst Extra Light Low Alcohol with 2.5% but only 67 calories... but is that honest, or just poor marketing? Miller 64 - 64 calories and 2.8%
I can't believe you even TRIED that stuff! Thanks for taking a hit for the team. AND...nice blog, man!

I did not know about the alcohol content, so thanks for sharing. I generally don't drink beer, but when I do, oh-oh, I am starting to sound like the Dos Equis guy... Actually, when I do drink beer I like a full-bodied, well-rounded taste. Lately I have been trying Michigan microbrews. But those who make it a quest to consume at least a 12-pack can feel better, albeit deceivingly, about the calorie count. Great article!

Différentes courses pour les gens différents! On dirait que nous avons rarement d'accord sur ce plan ... ha!
En fait, je vous pourquoi les gens ne le trouve pas nécessairement attractif - il n'est pas un joli garçon ou classiquement beau (quoique je n'ai personnellement aucun problème w / du tout) ... mais il ya beaucoup d'autres choses qu'il peut faire pour moi: a) il apparaît comme un véritable Nice / mec respectueux sur et hors du terrain, b) Il a que des combats, décousu, le broyage très jeu de type physique qui est très admirable / fun à montre, c) l'envie de cheveux, j'adore ses cheveux d) son «spanglish» est adorable, et e) bien sûr, la DBO;-)
