"BTW, there are "low-carb" beers out there like Michelob Ultra that contains only 2.6g of carbs a bottle. I've tried that beer and to my palate, at least, it is truly awful. If I had to drink that every night, I'd be a teetotaler in no time at all!"
Guinness has 5-6g of carbs per bottle. I did not like it much at first but it grows on you.
Year ago when Atkin's diet first came out everyone called it the drinking man's diet. I can't tell you how many pork chops in a can I used to consume when I got off work. It was a lot though.
