I've been watching the replys to the original post the last couple of days. Kind of amusing as the intent was to showcase a Superbowl "Commercial" and quickly became the subject of our least favorite beers. Namely, the beers of the Mega Brewer in St Louis. I guess our brief episode with the Trans named Dylan still draws a response less than favorable. I heard that he, or she, or whatever has moved on to some Broadway play in New York where the audience is more accepting. Good for It!
Now, back to the beer. I have a little experience, along with many of you. Mine began by sneaking samples from Dad's supply in the basement when I was a teenager. At that age, brand is not important. Agreed? A bottle here, a can there, Dad will never notice. Then I hit the long anticipated age of "Legal" and here we go. It's got to be Five O' Clock somewhere, right? Now at my current age, I shake my head at the pure luck that I survived those years of embracing the hops. Look up Risky Behavior in the Dictionary and there's a picture of me when I was 21. Longer hair, not as heavy, and a silly grin from the Beer Buz. In the background you'll see my Mercury with it's air shocks, jacked up rear end with G60's.
Again, back to the beer. Over the years I've had my headaches too. But I don't think it was the brand, more than likely, too much of any brand gave me the crankys and Diarrhea was never a problem unless Taco Bell was followed by beer. But that's just me, results may vary. Let's all agree, there's nothing worse than having a Beer Buzz when Diarrhea hits.
I know, "you thought it was just gas"!
Which brings us to present day. The Family Doctor's been on my back to eat less, exercise more, etc. etc. so I've compromised. I've searched the world over and found that Michelob Ultra is the lightest beer, fewest carbs, and still tastes like beer. I won't be running any marathons like in the commercials but I can tell the Doc that I'll be content to sometime enjoy a cold beer with moderation from time to time. (
