FTA: "The highest level of consumption was from 1976-1978, when 71% of Americans said they drank alcohol."

There was some good music during that time. Maybe it's not just a coincidence....

Well, lets see...

A can of coke is around 120 calories, with up to 50 grams of sugar and other chemical crap.
A can of regular budweiser beer is around 100 calories, with zero sugar

I'll take the beer over the coke any day. In fact its why I've lost over 40lbs since January. I went from 5-6 cans of soda a day, to 2-3 cans of beer, mostly with meals.
Same delightful fizzyness, but healthier.
