I have a parent who will only drink “lite” beer. I do not understand it. It takes like shitty water.

In my experience it’s because they’re drinking 18 of them and don’t want to be sloppy drunk after 10-12 hours. I prefer the more direct method of hard liquor to be more efficient but I get the thought process.

It’s to beer what LaCroix is to fruit juice.

Maybe they’re keeping a better balance of hydration to alcohol for their old brain, and not having a fruity or sweet taste but not boring plain water as well. Lite beer can occasionally be refreshing. Although personally I’d rather pour half a beer into a cup of ice than drink most light beers.

Is there a difference between Budweiser and having sex in a canoe? Nope. Both are fucking close to water.

Usually you’d start that joke with ‘what do x and y have in common’
Starting with what’s the difference works when there’s a difference. Like this, what’s the difference between a woman in a confessional and a woman in a bathtub? One has hope in her soul. ’

Thank you very much for the explanation. I would never have guessed. My mind is blown.
