At first, you feel good about it being 64 cal. By the time you feel buzzed you already drank a whole 18pk. and that equals 1152 calories. : )

Or you could have an ounce of distilled liquor and 12oz Diet Coke. 64 calories, 0 carbs. Less than 75 cents a serving.

7.7% alcohol by volume, so if you’re the type to down six beers (384 calories, 14.5 carb grams), then have only two and eat 256 calories of real food. I’m sure you weren’t having any snacks with those six beers anyway.

I wish I could get my MGD Light I used to buy. Not the 64 cal. shit. It’s all I ever used to drink. I’ve spent all year buying different types of beer and can’t find anything like it. Please start making it again!!!!!!

Comparable to the Miller Light bottles but not the 3.2% alcohol content which can bring a stuper on the 3rd to 6th beer for me depending on the day. I have found that switching to the Miller 64 works great (at aprx 2.8% alcohol content) for a few more bottles at my pleasure to maintain my self control and peace of mind. It works with no downside effect for me. Love this beer Miller! Please just sell the Miller 64 beer in our favorite liquor stores, not just food markets and convenience stores. Excellent for Sports Game TV watching and social situations.

Kudos to Miller. I like 64. I am determined to drop some pounds by riding my bicycle and working with weights. Miller 64 is very low carb and I need to keep my carb intake below 25 carbs oer day. I just drank three while listening to the music at a locaL PLACE. I feel a buzz too. Very pleasant!

Finally! A tasteful beer without the calories and especially without the alcohol! Congrats to Miller Brewing Co. Now I can sit around the pool and enjoy several!

Where in the heck do we find out where they sell MGD 64? I live in Denver, Colorado and searched several liquor stores. Please Help!

I’m asking for MGD 64 when I’m out because not only am I watching the calories, I’m looking for a lower alcohol content. I’m in agreement about the “watered down” taste, but I find if I ask for a lime and drink it like a Corona, it’s tolerable.

I’m a lager beer lover so this is quite a switch for me. Try the lime. It’s not bad, and actually very refreshing!

I love this “64″ beer. I’m a huge Coors Light fan but no more unless there are no “64’s”. Great job Miller. You have my vote on this … Excellent job.

I like to watch the calories. I usually drink Mich Ultra. They has a Miller rep come into our home town bar and give out samples of the 64! I thought it was very smooth, wet and no after taste at all. If your looking to have fun, still drink and lose wait, this is the beer of choice! Excellent!

Why is the % of alcohol content disclosed? I guess its just water with beer.

you guys all saying “this beer is cool” – you are idiots and would probably drink anything the media throws at you.

all you guys saying “oh wow..i can drink and now i don’t get fucked up and drive drunk! thanks miller!” – you are too, idiots, and fuck you for voting for obama. i thank god Firefox doesn’t recognize his name to capitalize it, too.

this beer is disgusting and a pathetic example of yet another crappy American beer. i just poured my first one out after three sips.

I rarely drink a beer but with 64 cals I tried it. I drank one. I broke out in a rash. The next day I tried another one just to see if the rash was from it and sure enough I started to itch all over and the rash got worse. So what is in this beer cause I’m not allergic to foods of any kind? Is it made a special way?

If you’re drinking just to get drunk, why would you even try a beer like 64? Go get yourself some XXX or some other Canadian grog, go sit in a corner by yourself and drink up! I think 64 is an awesome beer. I’m a die hard Miller Lite drinker but if the bar has 64, that’s what I’m drinking. I think it tastes great, I LIKE the extra carbonation, and the fact that it has fewer calories is just an added bonus.

I guess it all boils down to why you’re drinking in the first place. If you want a buzz, try shots of Wild Turkey or Blackhous. If you want to hang out with your friends and not get obnoxiously drunk, try it.

You guys must be pretty shitty at math to not see the advantages. To calculate calories/unit alcohol you simply divide the the calories by the percent alcohol. So for MGD 64, it comes out to 22.86 calories/unit alcohol. The next closest is Michelob Ultra at 23.17 calories/unit alcohol. By this logic, MGD 64 is the lowest calorie beer for the alcohol you consume. I admit you will certainly need to drink more of them to get the same effect as the % alcohol content per bottle is less, so cost wise it may be a downer, but for people watching their calories (the people this beer is geared to) it makes sense.

As a side note, I like that I don’t have to drink a Gatorade before I go to sleep with this stuff to avoid a hangover the next day since you are consuming so much water with it.

I prefer to drink vodka. Especially whilst partaking of my other favorite vice…cocaine.

But if I ever find myself waking up in a car, in one hundred degree weather (happens more often than one would think), I will happily suck down a 64 or two so as to keep from dying of dehydration.

Thanks SAB.

so…when are they gonna make a beer thats 64 calories, and 5 or 6% alcohol.

That’s not physically possible. In fact Miller is just about at the limit as it is. Aside from the calories in the alcohol, the only other calorie source is the 2.4 carbs (about 20 calories). Even if you could somehow get the carbs down to 0, the max percent by vol of alcohol would still only be slightly above 3%.

Miller lite is my “go-to” beer, so I decided to give 64 a try. The taste is sub-par even for a lite. And the low alcohol content is also a downer. Someone a few posts back asked when kegs of this would be available. I would recomend getting a keg of miller lite and a water cooler and mixing them together. The result would equal MGD 64.

It took me a 12 pack just to feel a buzz. 12 beers at 64 calories. Do the math. Not worth it!

Well… I’d succumb to my inner vanity and decided to give this beer a shot. If you’re actually someone who LIKES beer you’re going to hate it. I’d imagine that whoever coined the idiom “bottom of the barrel” was referring to a keg of this piss-water. I’d might be okay on those 100 degree summer days where you really want a beer but know you need to stay hydrated. To the other reviewers – if you “don’t like beer” or “don’t want a buzz” why are you drinking, let alone reviewing, a beer. If you’re trying to watch your intake for caloric or other reasons you’re way better off buying something of actual quality to a point where you’re satisfied having less of it. And if you like this because you simply must have 6 beers every time you sit down I think weight watchers isn’t the only meeting you should be attending.
Anyone want the remaining 5 bottles?

To be honest with you, I am in my mid 30’s and I am slightly allergic to most beers. After 2 bud lights, or any other beer for that matter, I get extremely stuffed up and can’t breathe and my asthma kicks in. This is tough when you get a craving for a beer and can’t enjoy more than 2 with out these miserable effects. With MGD-64, I can drink a few and NOT get stuffed up. It is great! I love the taste! Its a good BEER!

This beer is not worth buying. It is basically soda. It is overcarbonated and tastes horribly watered down. Although I have a preference for IPA and other high gravity beers I do enjoy a light lager when it is hot, but this does not cut it. I can’t even catch a small buzz before my belly is soooo full of carbonated water that I can’t get any more down. My suggestion is to continue to drink other light beers with more realistic alcohol contents ~4% You will end up drinking less and the calories will be the same, and your kidneys will thank you for not drinking 5 gallons of this beer to get a buzz.
