Super Bowl

Coors Light 30 packs are $18 at Smart and Final right now.

I bought 10 of them.

British and Mountain People

After two Miller Chills it was time for something more, uh, substantial. So I braved the Valley heat and the packed crowd at Fox and Hounds. Some lovely company and chips made it bearable, as did three Newcastles. Cheap? $5 pints. Yes, I chugged the last of them beer-horns style - to the satisfaction of the crowd. Then it was time to go home. At home I had two standbys, Coors Light. Now, Coors Light is brewed by the devil or whatever. But it's low in calories and it is very inexpensive. I will drink a gallon of them at some point in the near future and report back on how that goes.

Save money, lose weight

So, I can appreciate a "good" beer like some beer snobs, but what has gotten me through high school, college and a regimented weight-loss program is inexpensive beer. This is where I'll talk in detail about how delicious inexpensive beer can be.

Tonight I am drinking Miller Chill. It's a new light beer that's based on the Mexican michelada drink - beer, lime juice, salt, hot sauce and worchester sauce. The flavor is slightly fruity, as expected, and it's not particularly carbonated, so it is very easy to drink fast. I'll have to have the rest of the six pack before I can make a complete assessment.
