That makes sense, Cindy, but I *am* a drinker and so is my hubby. We sort
of moderate calories and carbs, but, we go for quantity rather than quality.
Occasionally we take the hour drive to the import beer store and get
individual delicious, caloric, strong, beverages, yet we still always have
our cheap beer on hand. I'm not saying cheap light beer tastes good, but at
least with light beer, if you drink throughout the day, it's less calories
and you don't get drunk.
