Low Carb

It seems that Australian's or well the great unwashed amongst us, have fallen victims to the clever "low carb" marketing used by most Australian brewing companies. A recent article regarding a survey found that;

Almost three-quarters (71 per cent) of low-carb beer drinkers who responded to a VicHealth poll said it was a healthy alternative to full-strength beer.

A majority (59 per cent) said it was healthier than mid-strength while more (38 per cent) thought it was healthier than lower-alcohol light beer compared with those who knew it was not (36 per cent).

Hmm, common sense tells us that beer is calorie laden due to alcohol, not sugaz. But being beer geeks we knew that didn't we.

I must confess that the low carb marketing is good for one thing, and that's getting girls drinking beer, which means more girls in beer drinking venues. As for 'Pure Blonde" as in the image above. Well I'm not that fussed. I prefer my blondes on their backs with their legs open.
