Very spicy ales! Woo Hoo! Christmas tree in a bottle. It's actually different every year but usually somewhat similar.

*edit: I was referring to Anchor but most Christmas beers I've had were ales. Santa's Private Reseve is another great one! Mmmmmmmmmm! :toast:

I'm drinking MGD 64. It has been a long time since I drank beer and I wondered if a 64 calorie beer could get me buzzed.

I've only had less than half a bottle so far. I will report back when I am further into the 12 pack.

It doesn't taste bad though.

In all honesty, I don't know if I've ever had mgd. I probably have, but I guess not enough times to know the taste of it.

It taste better than PBR, I can say that much. As I finish the last drink out of my first bottle, my first conclusion is that it is a bit watery and I am wondering if 12 will do much. If not, it would probably be better to just stick with beers that are 100 calories.

id much rather have a beer with some flavor then worry about those extra calories.

I'd much rather someone invent a calorie free vodka that also had vitamin-properties. And speaking of inventions. I wish they'd invent a temporary sober pill that lasted 20 minutes so you could drive home - but then after 20 minutes you could have your buzz back.
