I think the hardest part about being a college student is balancing the weight gain that commonly comes along with excessive amounts of beer on the weekend. It can be really tough to give up drinking completely.
The one benefit of having a few drinks is being able to socialize with your friends, and just blowing off some steam from the week of school. The place where people get into trouble is when they tend to "binge" drink, which is drinking an excessive amount of beer in a short period of time. This is when the calories really start to add up, and before you know it you've consumed over 800 calories in under 30 minutes.
In my case, I am someone who wants to drink something that is going to taste good while keeping the calories down to a minimum. In doing a little research, I found some beers that maintained an average of 100 calories and also kept the carbohydrates down to a marginal amount.
Amstel Light 95 Cals/ 5 G Carbs
Beck's Premier Light 64 Cals/3.9 G Carbs
Budweiser Select 99 Cals/ 3.1 G Carbs
Coors Light 102 Cals/ 5 G Carbs
Corona Light 99 Cals/ 5 G Carbs
