Let’s see…

The first beer that comes to mind is Amstel Light.  It is one dam good bier!  It is low in calories and can be enjoyed throughout the day!  Its lightness allows you drink… and drink… and drink until you can’t drink anymore!  It can be enjoyed with a variety of food; however, I personally like to drink it while munching on delicious Gouda cheese and crackers!  It is so good!  You’ll love it, I swear!

What else is there?

Another beer I enjoy drinking in the summer is Bell’s Oberon.   It is a summer classic in Detroit (and the rest of Michigan) that can be found at almost any local bar or pub.  Try it for lunch with a delicious smoked ham and Edam cheese sandwich.  Or simply enjoy it with a slice of orange on a hot summer day!  But beware, it isn’t as light as Amstel Light since it is a wheat ale, so after a few beers you should be feeling a little lightheaded.    

I guess those are my two top picks for the summer so far…  We did buy a bunch of beer the other day to taste test, so stay tuned for my reviews!  With the rate my husband and I drink, we should be able to review at least 2 more new beers by next week! 

So, until then, Cheers!

Regardless of my bad choice, I drank.  And drank.  And I continued to drink.  I went to bed with a full stomach and a buzz.  After a few hours of having sugar- plums dance in my head, I woke up with the BIGGEST HEADACHE IN THE WORLD!  It was awful!  I felt like a bus parked on my head while the driver ate lunch.  I immediately got out of bed to treat my dehydration.  After two glasses of water, I went back to bed hoping my head would deflate.  But, it didn’t.  It got worse.  So, I got up again and went straight to the medicine cabinet for the magic pill- ADVIL! 

 

After a half hour of jamming my head into my pillow, my head started to feel a little smaller.  Drowsiness started to kick in and I was able to sleep.  The Advil worked!  It saved the night and I woke up with no hang over. 

The Lesson Learned:  No more wheat beer!  It caused my brain to swell up like a sea monkey!
