I've mostly given up drinking beer because it's impossible to diet when you're drinking the equivalent of liquid bread. Also, being diabetic, beer absolutely destroys my bloodsugar. I end up having to take a ton of insulin, which really isn't all that safe when you're consuming mass quantities of alcohol.

The reviews say Bud Light Platinum is quite drinkable and the 6.0% alcohol level is appealing to me. I might give this a shot next time I'm at the L store. It will never match up to my beers of preference (Newcastle Brown or Full Sail IPA), but it might be a good Sunday football beer.
