      I was at the local Food for Less, and picked up a 12 pack of Bud Light Platinum for $9.99 normally $14.99.  This is the first time I had ever seen the bottle and was impressed by the cobalt cool blue stained glass. Reminded me of a blue sky vodka bottle.  If you saw this bottle under a black light or in a club it would look appealing for the people who sees it and would make them order it too.  This is Anheauser-Busch new premium beer that is supposed to be better than their other beers.

     On the bottle the beer even has a contents label that tells you that each beer contains 137 Calores, and 4.4 Carbs. (Good for people trying to keep track of their beer belly)  The moment I twisted the cap off and took a drink, it reminded me of Budweiser but with a slighty different finish.  I figure I could chug 6 of these with my drinking partner and would have a great time.  By the 3rd one I was already slowing down and was past the buzzed staged.  I should of stopped at 4 now that I think about it.  Too late, all 6 of mine were now gone and I was lit.  This Platinum beer tasted similar but had that extra 1% of alcohol to make you get drunk faster.  I didn't think it would make a difference because hard liqueur and wine even has more in it than this.  This drink would be perfect to order at a bar or club because only a few would make the night better.

     Meanwhile, the party at home you end up drinking all 6 because you figure you virtually get it for $5, and why not have a blast.  Later on in the night I felt sick and yup, I was sick. So if you go out and buy this beer, take your time and don't be fooled by the other beers you usually drink thinking you can chug a 6 pack as fast as you can. If you do and don't get sick more power to you, but for all you other casual drinkers enjoy the buzz and drink less cause there's more in the bottle than you think. Definitively a creeper beer.
