Low-carb beers
There have been quite a few beer ads over the past few months about which beers have less carbohydrates, which have more, and whether it matters. Miller Lite struck first, with an ad saying Miller Lite has less carbs than Coors Light or Bud Light. Then the other two struck back, claiming the carb content is low in all light beers. "You could work off the extra carbs making out with the drunken spinster at the end of the bar." Clearly, people at Bud and Coors aren't from Wisconsin. Bud Light is 6.6 grams per serving, Coors Light is 5 grams, and Miller Lite is 3.2 grams.
Full chart here.
Sure, 2 grams and 4 grams is not much to work off. But, who drinks one beer? In Wisconsin, once a person opens their first beer, he or she averages 15 servings before stopping. This leads to a carb total of 99 grams, 75 grams, and 43 grams, respectively.
Now can you see what the big deal is? Miller Lite is clearly the best selection. Oh, I'm sorry, did you want to get fat and die? Oh, I'm sorry. By all means, drink the competitor's beer. Here is what the conversation would be like if beer bottles were women:
Miller Lite: Oh my god! I have so many carbs!
Coors Light: What? Are you kidding? Beer, you got no carbs!
Bud Light: Oh my god! I'm gonna cry! You two are so low in carbs, and I'm just a big fat carb monster wearing an ugly label.
