Intro

America loves beer – to the tune of consuming a whopping 6.4 billion gallons per year.
(That’s nearly 25 gallons per adult. Every year.)
And independent statistics point to about 42% of total beer consumption coming from lite beer.
So, which light beers do we drink?
Let’s dive right in.

About the data

But first, it’s important to note that this data comes courtesy of the Beer Advocate and a survey of over 3,900 Americans, asking them which were their favorite domestic light beers.
The #1 overall light beer? Bud Light. (Although there’s now data showing that Bud has been supplanted by a foreign beer overall.)
With that, on to the states!
