Never thought of it that way! Fair enough! Is it really easier to get drunk off? That seems so odd! The only people who drink light beer here are the ones who don't want to get drunk quickly! Haha, opposite. Plus it's not super cheap compared to regular beer here so I guess people aren't inclined to drink it. Plus there's a stack of 'trendy' low calorie full-strength beers floating around these days anyway.

But yeah, odd, I've never known anyone in my life who drinks light beer apart from my father when he doesn't want to get drunk but still enjoy a few brews with friends or whatever.
