I'm not hating it like the other guys. I understand that it's popular. Most of the ppl that I know drink it. I just don't think something with such low alcohol content is worth it for me. I need 5% minimum. Sometimes I'm in the mood for liquor and drink some 40% whiskey but other times I like a nice 5% beer.
Different states have different laws. In North Carolina, no beer can be over 5%. Yes the major brewers produce special batches for states with unique laws.
You should find something you like rather, than something you drink because of a mysterious number which doesn't even really accurately represent the bottle you are drinking.
Also, as a fact check, Light beer usually has less than a 1 % difference to that of its non light counter part.
