Since we are talking beer
brewski:
Since we are talking beer here I'm glad to announce that Yuengling is now being distributed here in East Tennesse. Having moved here 3 years ago I haven't been able to buy my favorite brew in TN until about six weeks ago. No more beer runs over the mountains to NC for me!! 8-)
Brewman:
All of the main stream beers- Bud, Miller, Coors, etc... are all much more similar than they are different, and they all have similar ingredients. Rice is used in many of them to give the beer a lighter flavor and color.
All those main stream beer get tons of national advertising to influence what people think of them.
But if one brand of beer seems to bother you more than another, then avoid it. You might have some sort of sensitivity to one of the ingredients.
To me they all tast about the same.
The 'Lite' versions of these same beers are pretty much the same as the regular,
and even more alike than the non-lite versions.
They just have more water in them, less other ingredients (including alcohol), so essentially you are paying for less beer and more water. Alcohol and malted barley are what contribute calories to beer so the only way to reduce calorie count on lite beer is to reduce the alcohol.
But drink what you like- there is no bad or good beer, just beer. Certain styles I care for more than others. I'm not a big fan of lites, or standard premiums, but that's just my preference.
All of the standard beer has all of the yeast filtered out. Brewers yeast is a vitamin B complex substance, and leaving it in beer, like in some microbrews, and most homebrewed beer is supposed to lessen the impact of a hangover. It's supposed to be the vitamin B in the yeast that's still in the beer.

And the Blue Moons don't give me a hangover either...of course I am only drinking for therapeutic effect.... ;D ;D so one or two shouldn't give a hangover anyway.
Brewman:
You'd be surprised. I know of people who have one or two and get a slight headache the next day- including myself. I think as we get older our tolerance for drinking diminishes- at least I've found that to be true for myself. When I was a young pup (of legal drinking age, of course!) I could tie one on and get up the next morning without missing a beat.
Now if I have more than a couple drinks, I get a that groggy feeling the next morning. Not exactly a hangover, but just enough discomfort to notice.
Bonibelle:
OK, Brewman, you don't know the secret...eat a dill pickle..one of those large dill pickles. I am guessing the salt fights the diuretic effect of the beer. And most beers go great with pickles ;)
