Handwritten notes: The thing about Stella light is that it is perhaps the only beer I like better as a “light”. I’m still kind of brain-boggled over the concept of light beer, but in this case the lighter flavours of Stella play better in a pool with less chlorine. There is a conflicted little man in my head that wants to slam Stella because of its popularity. But this ain’t no Bud Light popularity. The people who buy this beer generally live in gated communities and wear golf shirts even when they’re not golfing. Still, I have to be true to myself and give this beer a good mark. Looking back, I gave Stella a huge rating. I was young and innocent when I reviewed it, though, and the past 5 months have been life changing.

Did you see that PUDweiser has introduced "the world's lightest beer"? It's called 55 or something ridiculous like that which indicates its low calorie content. That number also reflects how many times you'll have to urinate in the next hour. Unlike Bear Grylls we Americans drink piss by choice.
