Just hoping someone can help regards Michelob Ultra lager in 330ml bottles?
Been buying it from Morrison's and as it's 73 calories and 2g carb i switched to it. Just a straight forward light pils but cold on a sunny day it's a treat. Went today and empty space where it was and checked online and they have stopped stocking it? Sainsburys and Tesco currently unavailable and can't find it anywhere online. Even Waitrose who had it in cans are out.Tried specialist sites and no joy. So if anyone can help id be grateful.. Thanks.

I like Amstel as well but 15g carb in a bottle.
Suppose the amount I'm having now may as well enjoy it? When pubs reopen it will be a pint or 2 of Guinness then soft drinks and maybe a cheeky Gin. Not pushed the limits since T2 and read you should be careful with alcohol and liver etc? Actually tried red wine last night and never been a fan in the past but a small glass of Campo Rioja was ok.
Think my tastes have changed since LCHF and Coffee suddenly is good and Tea i can't abide now Suppose if you aren't having much it shouldn't be too problematic whichever bevvy you choose?

I had a couple of glasses of red wine last night with a low carb meal - ended up with a bs figure of 3.2 overnight! Clearly can’t combine the two.

Went on a mission today. Found 6 loose cans in a Co-op. Nothing in Tescos Asda or Morrison's then struck gold at the large Sainsburys. 4 × 4 pack bottles which cleared them out They did however have the Amstel 66 bottles which whilst bit less alcohol are even lower carb, plenty of these in stock so will be interested to taste these. Seems like a lot of effort for a few beers but worth it imo.

I tried drinking Coors light..... well 4 cans of it. Then forgot to check my blood but was ok the next day. I mean the taste isn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible. Has anyone else tried it and does it effect anyone badly? I may try it again this weekend :)

Coors light is a decent enough lager and relatively low carb and calorie. Ice cold in this weather a beer is a real treat Just find the Michelob beats it and Bud light on taste. In my opinion if you are only having a few beers then its not going to do you much harm and i intend to enjoy a couple of draught Guinness asap. I am wary of drinking in excess after reading warnings but i did have a decent sup on VE day and tested the morning after and my reading was a little lower than day before or after so didn't trouble me much.
