I do not understand why anyone living the college life would say anything negative about Natural Light. Still, as an avid Natty drinker, I get it all the time-”Natty’s gross” or “Natty tastes like water” or “Why are you drinking that when you can drink Bud Light?” The latter is my favorite since anyone who actually knows Natty, knows that it and Bud Light are identical-aside from the price.
It would be best to say if there was ever a beer that was created for the college student, it’s Natural Light. After spending a grand total of $6.39, I became the general of 12 white-uniformed commandos willing to die in the name of a good time. The price is the first great thing about Natty-you’ll spend at least the same amount just tipping a hot waitress in an evening at the bar. The taste, which is absurdly similar to the highly-touted Bud Light, is light and smooth and leaves you with virtually no aftertaste. Though lacking a thoroughly “beery” taste, it’s miles from offensive, and if you’re going to be drinking 12 in a night, you’re not doing it just for the taste anyway.
Natty’s best feature is what can only be described as its carryability. My stomach can probably hold only four or five regular beers at any one time, but it can hold at least seven Natty’s. I don’t know why, but I am assuming it’s magic. Even when you do have that much in you, you can still move about with all the ease that you would after only one. The morning after a set of Natty’s, only leaves you with a desire to repeat last night’s performance. Since Natty is not available in 30-pack form, it does not reach perfection, but as far as I am concerned, it’s damn close.
