It was partially for shock value, but it's also because I have come to terms with the fact that it's true. I do really enjoy good beer and I've even fancied myself somewhat of a connoisseur (though nothing to compare to Amanda's brother). I can certainly appreciate the differences (both obvious and subtle) between say Michelob ultra and a good microbrew or something. I am not a total philistine. I have just realized it's the default beer I grab when I just want a 6 or 12 pack to drink while I kick back in the backtub and read or whatever on the weekend. The reasons are: 1) It's as light a beer as you can get. The older I get, I just don't have the stomach (literally) for large quantities of non-light beer. I also have a rather high tolerance for alcohol, so if I drink regular beer, I get full before I ever get drunk, and what fun is that? This also ties into: 2) I enjoy beer, but I do not enjoy getting fat. 3) It doesn't taste bad. I realize it's so light that there's not much flavor to be had, but it doesn't taste <b>bad</b> (and there <b>is</b> light beer that tastes bad, to be sure. Natty Light. Never again.) I am no beer snob. Michelob makes great beer, and the Ultra stuff is just a super-light lager that they're marketing to low-carb dieters. 4) Not too expensive. PBR comes close to fitting this criteria as well, except it's not that light. I also like Amstel Light, but it's too damn expensive. I figured someone would want some explanation.

It could probably lead to a decent discussion. I assume that this post is done for shock value, but are you going to elaborate on reasons as to why? It could probably lead to a decent discussion.
