wadethegringo Posted July 11, 2012 #28 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Only two kinds of beer here in Belize, Belikin and Light House. Both bottles are less than the 12oz standard bottle. But they are so good on the Island.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkenkeg Posted July 11, 2012 #29 Share Posted July 11, 2012 "Why do people drink light beer?" Ever try dragging a keg of beer from the Lido Deck to your cabin? Yes, I have just look at my screen name and you will understand :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillian marie Posted July 11, 2012 #30 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I like the taste of many light beers and I don't drink to get drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjl13666 Posted July 11, 2012 #31 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Light beer is refreshing on a hot day. Other than that there is no reason to drink it. But if you want a beer with a high alcohol content, do a google search for Thermonuclear Penguin. You're welcome. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugaangel601 Posted July 11, 2012 #32 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think most people do it for the calories.Alcohol is empty calories for those of us who calorie count 1) I don't drink to get drunk, and2) I prefer to eat my calories, not drink them. Corona Light and Bud Light Lime are my summer favorites. Well said. I usually drink light beer only if Im counting calories, but I am a "lightweight" anyway, so it doesnt take me much. For me, light beer is refreshing without the "heavy" feeling. Id rather enjoy my food and beverages instead of being slave to them (think eating/drinking too much and being bloated and overfull).

frito58 Posted July 11, 2012 #33 Share Posted July 11, 2012 For me it's cheaper than liquor and has less Weight Watchers points than regular beer. Like:D And I truly like the taste of it . Why do I want 150 calories when I can get 90 or I even drink Bud 55 . I dont slam 24 of them . I like the taste of beer around the pool if I want 4 or 5 . Now If want something with a meal I like a darker beer with some body. Why do people eat 35 calorie Bread , why do people eat fat free Ice cream and Diet coke . Not everyones metabolism allows them to eat Big macs and Double whoppers and Mt. Dew. :);) Why does Radio Shack ask for your Phone number when you buy Batteries ....IDK ............:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyrocks922 Posted July 17, 2012 #35 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So do people who drink it want to imbibe the same amount of liquid yet get less alcohol so as to not get drunk? yes. why is that so difficult to comprehend? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted August 31, 2012 #37 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm NOT a fan of the taste of most beer, but I can manage the "lite" stuff....not as strong tasting and bitter. Those thick, dark beers....icky, icky, icky, to me! And, I'm a lightweight....If I drink regular beer, I do get drunk way too fast....that's not good...so with the "lite" beer, I can drink for longer without becoming sloppy drunk!

Bethwte Posted September 2, 2012 #38 Share Posted September 2, 2012 They're great for when you know you will be drinking for quite a while or drinking it simply to keep cool (a summer BBQ is a good example of both). At some point you're just going to want more liquid than a heavier beer will be able to provide without making you feel pretty gross/bloated. So, at least in my case, I can have a darker/heavier brew and then need to switch to something other than beer, or just have light beer the whole time and not worry about it.

SheriAZ Posted September 8, 2012 #39 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I drink lite beer because 1. I like it 2. I don't want to get buzzed 3. Less calories 4. I can make it work with weight watchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
