Yeah, some really aren't beer, per se, more so a "malted beverage" and a few are just downright nasty. One that I think is really good is Yuengling Light which actually retains a lot of taste of the original lager. I sometimes enjoy Coors Light which is more of a carbonated malt beverage than a beer. It's taste is really quite refreshing, especially when the weather is hot and you can drink quite a few without getting smashed. lol I think the attraction to light beers for most is that they aren't as filling.
i find it weird though the idea that you drink an alcoholic beverage with less alcohol so that you can drink more of them
and genuine question: are there non-lite equivalents of coors, miller etc.
