I wanna know about the alcohol????? It is not good when dieting yet it's the one vice I am not willing to give up.

Michelob Ultra is their low-carb beer, and it's OK. Less than 3 carbs a bottle. Also, Lite Beer (from Miller) has a little more than 4, I think.

Of course, Dr. Atkins recommends all things, including alcohol, in moderation. He specifically lists several non-carb hard liquors, but I don't drink spirits very often. I remember one of them was Tequila, which stuck in my mind because the very smell of straight tequila gets the gag reflex going. You see, I had a violently unpleasant episode involving tequila when I was in college... but that's a story for a different day and a different thread.

Of those two Miller Lite is 1000X better. That Ultra carb tastes like carbonated funky water and has about the same kick to it. I prefer Killian's(used to be Corona before the Mexico anti Iraq thingy), but that's another story :)

Guiness Draft Stout only has about 5.2 g of carb per 12 oz. Much tastier than those watered down excuses for beer.

Miller Lite has 3.2 g. Not bad, but I will still choose the Guiness.
