Let's Drink to It
Wednesday, January 07, 2009
Suzy's obsessed with calories as she chases her New Year's Resolutions.
We're thrilled to discover MGD 64.
That's a 12 oz. bottle of beer with just 64 CALORIES.
We're not usually a domestic beer kind of gal but if this lets us drink 2 beers for every one glass of Pinot Noir, we're liking it.
Here's how MGD 64 stacks up in the calorie count:
* A 6 ounce glass of red wine contains 128 calories - twice the amount in MGD 64.
* A 6 ounce gin and tonic contains 172 calories - almost three times as many calories as MGD 64.
* A 6.5 ounce margarita contains 246 calories - nearly four times the calories of one MGD 64.
But does it taste good? We let the blog "Heartless Doll" be the brave taste tester:
"Fresh and fizzy, MGD 64 has more taste than Miller Lite or Bud Lite, hands down. None of the unpleasant sour whang of Budweiser Select and, despite what the BS commercials say, none of the aftertaste of BS. (And nobody, but nobody, likes BS with an aftertaste.) Less fun to drink once it becomes flatter toward the end of the bottle, but don't despair -- you only drank 64 calories. Have a new one.
