“…Beer for my horses.” ~ Toby Keith. Can’t say I agree with this song, but it was the first one that popped into my head while writing this post. I personally prefer my men drinking beer…& my horses drinking whiskey? (A drunk horse, now THAT would be a great YouTube video!)

I’d drink any of these, calorie-wise (taste-wise, that’s another story). I would make my decision according to what the beer was accompanied with. Nothing? I’d probably go for the Blue Moon. A salmon salad? A Stella. Chicken wings? Michelob Ultra, or a comparable low-cal beer. I personally wouldn’t add insult to injury with this last one, but sometimes you just gotta have a beer. That’s understandable!
Drinking beer isn’t a faux-pas in the I want to live a healthy life world. You just gotta be aware of what you’re eating & be cautious not to go overboard. Unless, you’re have a poopy day, then by all means, jump the ship!
