The skinny on MGD 64

So i'm cutting back on the amount of beer i drink so i can fit back into that speedo for the end of summer. So i started thinking about lite beers the market these days and one in particular; the MGD 64.

So the angle here is that this beer is only 64 calories. Sounds great. When the taste of beer doesnt matter(like football season)...then why not?! Right?...Wrong.

- Michelob Ultra has 95 calories and an alcohol content of 4.1 %
- MGD 64 has 64 calories and an alcohol content of 2.8%

If you're doing the math at home, that roughly comes up to third less of the calories AND alcohol content. I'm going to assume a third less flavor as well...and we're talking crap beer here. I thought this was the beer that they sold in grocery stores out west...near beer. So next time you're thinking you may want to give the MGD 64 a try, here's a recipe for you:

- 8oz of Michelob Ultra
- 4oz of H20 (chilled)

Combine Michelob Ultra and water. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Save a flush, go in the shower!

Here's a public service ad from Brazil suggesting that to save water, we should go in the shower. I never knew i was so progressive in this arena of environmentalism...
