Light Beer Wars

[MHasegawa]

Why do all these light beer commercials go out of their way to outdo each other?? Miller, Bud and Rolling Rock are all guilty of this crap.

-"You can burn the carbs of our beer by looking like an moron using a finger treadmill."

-"You can burn the carbs of our beer waving hello."

-"You can burn the carbs of our beer by scratching your ass!"

Are beer drinkers really breaking their balls to count carbs when they wanna get drunk??

Please share your thoughts.

Who is Karim Garcia?? I no respect heem.

Because of this stupid atkins diet that has this country enamored. Everywhere I fucking go I have to see low in carbs or no carbs. Every damn restaurant has this shit. Here is an idea. EAT LESS, and stop shoving this fucking diet down my throat.
Its just another way to sell more beer to people who are to stupid to know any better.

the only light beer i'll actually drink is Amstel Light, because I like the taste, and I've never seen a non-light Amstel.

But I avoid light beers otherwise.

No shit (except for the eat less bit. I have been on atkins for a year and I think it is, in and of itself great. All the fucking marketing is annoying as fuck though).

Get <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4900885/"> this</a>.

Low-carb coke & pepsi. I guess the no-carb diet sodas weren't cutting it.


What the fuck? I hope all the retards who think they're doing atkins and are buying all the atkins chips and atkins bars and atkins junkfood drink this 18g carb/can cola and get fatter than ever. Retards.

Just and FYI for everyone

Atkins Diet May not be so great long term (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4999116/)

I am not one to follow a trend everytime a new stupid study comes out. But there have been some rumblings lately about the diet, and I thought this may be of interest.

That study didn't say anything about it being bad - certainly nothing people need "warning" about - just that after a year people on low fat and atkins diets end up losing about the same amount of weight. They never say why; for all we know it could be half the people gave up on it for whatever reason, which isn't really anything major, in and of itself; of course the diet isn't for everyone and not everyone is going to stick with it. If I went on a low fat diet I'd probably lose weight and then gain it back because to me low fat diets suck :)

Either way, in the end, all we're going to have is all those people who have been stuffing their fat faces with snackwells cookies and half gallon tubs of fat free ice cream now stuffing their fat faces with "low-carb" cookies and "low-carb" chips and "low-carb" beer and wondering why they're getting fatter and fatter. Yesterday I saw english muffins in the store that were labelled "carb consider". Carb consider? What the fuck does that mean?

I must admit though that I like the commercial where the guy with the swiss chard says Atkins will help you pick up chicks. I thought that was cute.

People are dumb.

I'm a big fat guy that loves eating everything in the world, and let me tell you that Michelob Ultra is delicious. I couldn't give a rat's ass about the carbs or calories, as I'm about as far from Atkins as you can possibly get. I just tried it one night for the hell of it, and I've been hooked ever since.

Coz they have the money from us that we hand over to them so they can spend gazillions on Ads.

I have been doing Atkins since the end of January, I have lost 50lbs and 6" off of my waist. So for the Atkins it is working for me, I am glad that some of these companies are coming out with a lot of these products. The key is not to cheat and you still should watch your caloric intake after a while. I am probably going to move more to a low calorie diet still incorporating some of the low carb products.

As for the light beers it does not make a big difference to me Miller lite, Bud lite, Amstel, as long as it is cold I will drink it.

Guinness people! As you can see in the chart LordJezo posted, Guinness is good for you!

I love vitamin G.

Vodka/tonics are good too.

I'm convinced Mike the T was Matt Groening when he was heavier.

Light beer is the work of the devil.

The Bud Light lizards have been striking back. Making fun of The Miller ads and saying the people that own Miller aren't even from this country, so their whole campain makes no sense.

I lost ~40 lbs just by cutting back on the junk food and eating more sensibly. I still eat chips and stuff on occasion, but I won't eat a bag of Wise BBQ in one sitting.

I stopped going to McWendyKing's and only do it once in a while (I've been to fast food places 3 times in the past 3 months). Just pay attention to what you're putting on your plate.

I still enjoy my beer though. I bet if I had stopped my drinking with the diet, I would've lost the weight faster, but I'm not looking to break records, just be somewhat healthier.

Down from 232 to 194 as of Memorial Day, and this is where I'll stay.
