Yeah but scotch and diet soda sucks balls. I can't have too much sugar.
I was thinking club soda/tonic water...

$200.00 and 20%.

You won't find this anywhere anymore but I go to try it and it was very tasty despite it's high alcohol content.

On topic: I like Michelob Ultra but Amstel light is my favorite light beer.

I think it's funny though the way Michelob markets Ultra as a healthy beer. It may only have 2.6 grams of carbs but it is 4.6% alcohol and alcohol is the simplest of simple sugars.

Ultra breaks down like this: 12 calories from carbs 3 calories from protein and 80 calories from alcohol. Beer is simply not healty to consume in any way other than in moderation.

Ultra's carb content isn't really that much different from other light beers. Definitely not enough to warrant an "ultra" moniker. Tried it, didn't like it. As for the 2.6g of carbs per bottle, do note that they have a smaller 7oz (I think) bottle that they sell as well. I want to say the normal bottles are 4.6 or 5.2 or somesuch.

Not a fan. I'll steer towards another light beer first.

If you're saying the 12oz bottles are more than 2.6g of carbs, that would seem to be incorrect because the label indicates 2.6.

How many servings per bottle though?

Bwhahahah!

I love a bag of chips that has "2.5 Servings"! WTF? Like I'm gonna put it down after 1 serving, then eat another serving later, then buy another bag so I can eat the last half serving from the old bag then open the new one to get the rest of that serving I want!

And with a beer?!?!?!?!
