Who here likes Michelob Ultra?

[Andrew]

I like it and my beer of choice. Mix in a Red Bull and vodka every two or three and hold on.

[DonMan]

SERIOUS QUESTION : Is this poll intended for our wives ? Just wondering . . .






Any beer that is supposed to be less carbs, less calories CANNOT be good.


The harder it is to see through - the better. REAL men drink DARK BEER.

[Audiofn]

It is OK but I am more of a dark beer guy. Give me a Guiness and I am happy. The problem that I now have is that my Gout acts up with beer so I am back on the Vodka or wine as it does not seem to cause the foot to act up as much.

It's always a dollar more per beer than Miller Lite, so I never get it.

& I would pay a dollar more for Miller Lite anyway. That's my first choice.

[Wobble]

I like ultra but I only buy the plastic bottles (you can put the top back on) and Ultra is not available in them.

I prefer glass but that's a no-no when boating or four wheeling. Canned beer is my last choice but even those break when it's rough.

You might be able to guess my preferred beverage

[Boss252]

I like Mich Light, but no one carries it anymore. They all have Ultra. Wife likes it. I don't think it has any flavor at all. So what happen to the Mich Light? I guess I will just drink Miller Lite from now on.

I drink it, actually like the skinny cans, fit in the same coozy as bottles. Rather have captin, but it is a good all day beer...

I've been a Mic Light drinker for years, but will drink this occasionally. Have acquired a taste for Sam Adams Light recently.

Lay off the wine, one of the worst things you can drink if you have Gout. I think it's the tannins in it.

That SA is some kick-ass beer. One of my favorites.

The problem with Gout is it seems like there are a million opinions on what causes or triggers it. This was a studdy that I found:

In a recent reported study, US researchers followed 47,150 men aged 40 to 75 over 12 years, looking at their drinking habits (how many grams of alcohol they consumed per day). None of the men had gout in the beginning. The researchers documented 730 confirmed incident cases of gout among the men by Year 12. Compared with men who did not drink alcohol, the risk of developing gout increased with the amount of alcohol that the person was consuming. (Choi, et al, April, 2004).

For men drinking on average < 1 standard drink a day, the relative risk (RR ) was 1.32; this relative risk of developing gout increased to 1.49 for men drinking on average 1 to 2 standard drinks a day),. At 2 to 3.7 standard drinks a day), the RR was 1.96 and this jumped to 2·53 for men who were consuming more than 3.7 standard drinks a day.

In Canada, 13.5 g. of alcohol = 1 standard unit. In the US, it is 14 grams alcohol and in the UK it is 7.9 grams.

The researchers found that drinking beer showed the strongest independent association with the risk of gout (12-oz serving per day, the relative risk was 1·49).

Drinking spirits (e.g. brandy, whiskey, gin, vodka etc) was also statistically significantly associated with developing gout but the risk was lower (multivariate RR per drink or shot per day was 1·15). However, wine consumption was not (multivariate relative risk (RR) per 4-oz serving per day was 1·04).

The study notes there did not appear to be an association between drinking two 4 oz. glasses of wine a day and developing gout, regardless of whether the men were drinking red or white wine. Yet it is acknowledged that port, some red wines and stouts contain purines or oxypurines, which lead to an increased purine load.

I like Ultra. I just need a Huggie that will fit the can!
