I love good beer. I gave it up to do low carb. I have been hearing about Michelob Ultra for months now, I promised myself if I did well until it came out, I would try it. I haven't had any alcohol up to that point, six months. I bought some on Monday, expecting it to taste like skunk juice. It really wasn't bad at all, but far from being as tasty as my favorite hefeweizen. I did not like the woozy feeling I got from drinking half a bottle. Agonycat is sooo right! I felt like I was coming down with the flu, uncoordinated, and nausea kind of feeling. I also got a dull headache a few hours later. I didn't retain water afterward either, but I also drank plenty of water that day. It did not trigger any cravings for me and I was able to only have one (which is something I feared).

I wouldn't go back to having 8+ beers a day like I used to, but it's great to know if you want a beer, that there are a few out there that can be had as a treat now and then.
