    The author’s main point seems to be that 4.2% ABV is usually a much better choice than the >5% of most craft beers. But there are other beers with low ABV, there are even non-alcoholic craft beers. e.g. Guinness Stout and Kilkenny Irish Rad Ale have about the same ABV.

      In that regard, I buy Coors Banquet solely because it’s 5% and costs the same as Lite. And when I’m really feeling down bad, I can go for the 5.9% IceHouse for even cheaper.

        We don’t really have lower-alcohol beer here (except for Guinness and Kilkenny, but they’re expensive), so my go-to is non-alcoholic beer. Usually relatively cheap and suitably weak-tasting, if I want to get buzzed I get a spirit as a chaser.

    They call it “love by the lake”, because it’s fucking near water, haha.
