Light beer? Really?? Argh! Even a true Texan can apply the laws of physics and burn more calories than they consume without resorting to drinking wimpy diet beer. Obviously the wussification of Texans by the marketers is complete based on the displays of cold beer where light outnumbers regular by 3 to 1.
This whole deal is easy. 1) ELF diet (eat less food). 2) Carbohydrate control. No need to cut back on beer calories if you cut sugar (in coffee/tea, Dr.Peppers). 3) Get your butt off the couch (unless its your favorite football team) and exercise. I prefer a viable work product for my efforts (versus indoor exercising with sweaty strangers): a fence, patio, planted tree, hay hauled, new roof, etc. Heck, walk the dog (pick up the yard mines, would ya?) or just park further away from work (shade trees usually aren’t close to the door). Once you get used to eating less food and getting exercise, you’ll have plenty of room in your gut budget for that guilt free 6 pack of Shiner with the all-you-can-eat bar-b-que dinner. Bring a driver because you’ll be dangerous when the food coma hits.
Now not all diet beer is worthless. You might want to attend one of those Texas country music shows where the kids abuse alcohol by spilling it, usually on each other. By all means, Natty light or Stones would be appropriate for that behavior should you choose to go anywhere near the stage.
