Get thee behind me.

Due to a mix up when ordering a drink at the recent family wedding in Vegas I ended up being treated to a bottle of miller lite. Miller lite is for some reason known only to its evil makers ( I can't bring myself to say brewers) billed as beer...beer? you must be kidding. As a Catholic we were expected until recently to believe in purgatory, a timeless blank place that souls resided in before perhaps entry into heaven. Miller lite is the beverage equivalent as it manifests when drank the overwhelming experience of nothingness, no taste, no body, no anything, in fact it is almost surreal in its none existence. Just what function does this abomination perform? As a penance I purged myself after the unfortunate experience with a couple of large Jack Daniels and have since pledged to stick to Samuel Adams Boston lager, a much superior drink...cheers!

I bet the Jack Daniels tasted good!

Half the fat - half the taste. That's what I say.

People go to restaurants and are ecstatic about the chef's 'magic' when all he's probably doing is using full fat butter, cream and milk.

Same too with low fat beers.

I know of far more people who have died young thin and 'healthy' rather than fat.

Hence my favorite word of caution - life is too short to drink lite beer. I thrill that I am not the only one to think this be true. Enjoy the rest of your stay - now you know what to avoid! lorraine

Like I said, it's not even good enough to make a shandy with!

Tap water?

For someone brought up on Double Diamond, it probably tastes ok.....

As someone who had to repair equip in Higsons pubs and refusing a free drink in each because of the same problems as Miller Lite, I can freely say that Miller Lite if like Higsons would have made me teetotaler sooner, reminds me of that stuuf they call "Near Beer".

A Black and Tan is light beer.
