Created, I presume, for the sole purpose to take a shit on MGD 64, which I've never tried

I'm assuming these have so few calories because they have so little alcohol

Does anybody drink the latter, and how many does it take to get even the most modest of buzzes going ?

MGD 64 tastes like half Mich Ultra and half water. The alcohol isn't really that low...it's all the other ingredients that there are less of. Fucking piss water.

MGD64 is 2.8%ABV, I'd call that low.

i drink plain ole bud select

1/12/2010 9:17:53 AM

lightest beer i drink on a semi-regular basis is Michelob Ultra.

1/12/2010 9:18:49 AM

I see myself only maybe drinking it when I'm out on a weeknight and want to stay somewhat healthy but don't want to be a fag and get a diet coke when everyone else has beer

Even then, someone else would have to order one with me

I prefer Heineken or Becks Light and Guinness is supposed to be the best calorie:alcohol ratio.

Ill be picking up a case ASAP when it comes out. Bid select is my favorite drink.

I was a promo model for MGD64. Its bad, but most people that tasted it said it "wasn't as bad as they thought". If you drink real beer, you will hate it, but if you are a sorority girl that drinks michultra, you wont care. The bud55 is actually *not* a real beer because the alcohol content is so low, they have to call it a near-beer. MGD64 is just barely over the cut off. It is like a watery version of Miller Genuine Draft.

"They make it with a cold press and add hops three times throughout the brewing process to give it flavor without all of the calories" - one of the facts we had to give about it... I'm not really sure if that makes it better, but there you go.

*INTERESTING FACT* A miller light only has like, 5 calories more than a Mich ultra. I know so many girls that drink that crap because its "less fattening". Might as well drink some shitty beer that has a flavor instead of that crap.

i'd say the last 5 or so cases I've bought for home consumption were MGD64

I'm generally a sport-drinker, meaning I don't stop at just one or two...

as a strict calorie counter, I can't justify drinking 1000+ calories in a night of drinking in addition to the food I'd eaten throughout the day. 640 calories helps me stay under 2000 cal/day

if you're counting calories, drink vodka tonics. if you're REALLY counting calories, drink GHB.

1/12/2010 3:52:32 PM

i drink plenty of the former

1/12/2010 3:54:02 PM

Haha, "sports drinkers" were the number one target for our campaign. They told us to go after the tailgaters. "It has less calories so you can drink all day and not worry about it!"

1/12/2010 4:15:01 PM

Miller Lite: 96 calories
MGD 64: 64 calories
Michelob Ultra: 95 calories

Sport drinking saves you 330 calories a night. That's impressive.

here's a picture of frugal_qualm and me and a couple buddies chillin

1/12/2010 4:25:30 PM

Why don't they make their beer 69 calories?

1/12/2010 5:00:29 PM

Ultra Amber is decent, but has the most calories of those type of beers.

Becks Light >>>>>> MGD64 and has the same amount of calories.

lol @ GHB, I've thought about that in past as a guilt-free bender alternative.

1/12/2010 5:11:38 PM

^not only is it calorie free, it spikes your growth hormone levels and makes you lose weight. It's a shame some people had to use it for horrible reasons and get it banned.

1/12/2010 7:28:23 PM

Had some tonight I the bar. Not wild about it but hey if you want a beer and cheap, and not a bad afte taste. this is it.
